A gruesome gangster war which

Men Searched

I thanked the sailor for the in
formation and walked on to in
spect the work post. Two bar
racks were ready and the third
still needed a roof. The buildings
seemed in good order, but the
chinks between the logs indicated
hasty construction.
The barracks we were in had
recently been completed. The
chinks between the logs were
stuffed with moss. There was no
stove. The small windows let in
but little light.
After dinner. which was not
much better than at the Kotlas
Transfer Station, we we're sud-
denly subjected to a search. We
had to undress, we were felt all
over. our bundles were ransacked
in search for money, valuable arti-
cles and watches. Letters were
left untouched. AS usual my
money was in the double shirt-cuff
and I got by with it, but my watch.
which I had regained with diff
ficulty in Kotlas, was taken away
and a receipt for it given. Ten
days later saw my watch on the
wrist of our commander who
claimed that he needed it to check
up on the prisoners work accord
ing to the Taylor system, though
he had not the slightest inkling
Of what that system was. Only
three months later when I felt
myself firmly established at the
office of the camp administration
did succeed in getting it back.
After the search, all the COM
manding officers came to our bar
racks. Mosagin, who had met us
on our way. declared that as far
as the penal camp administration
was concerned. his mission was
finished and the prisoners we're
transferred to the local author
tiles.
From now on everything will
depend on yOu," he concluded.
"Lf you work well, you will be
treated WELL"
Our new chief Shapovalov, COM
mander of the Sixth Work Post,
voiced the same sentiment.
From now on" he said,
"yOu will work for me. It is
easy forest work and you will
like it. You 'inteIligentSia,' for
instance, are used to work hard
with your pens and pencils.

An ardent admirer Of the jail

days as inmate-cook, Robbins

times it was refused. Then he
climbed aboard a Jail supply truck
to get within the walls, but he

"Meet My Wife"

We followed our commanders
out of the barracks and saw a
sleigh entering the gates. The
woman wore an AStrakhan coat
and too much rouge. She looked
like a pretty chambermaid.

ming up to her. This is 4 de-
lightful surprise. I'm glad to
see you. We have such jolly
crowd here. Come on up, boys,
and meet my wife"
Golubatnikov, the big fellow
Of Mosagin's staff, quickly ran
up to the sleigh and helped the
lady to alight. Surrounded by
admirers, she Sauntered coquet,
tishly up to the house and all
the men followed her in. We
went to the store to investigate
the main problem"
without the commanders
orders / cannot sell anything
except on ratiOn-cards. l have
to keep an accurate record, so
please don't even ask me-" The
|. prisoner StOrekeeper was ad-
amant.
Dejectedly we went back to the
barracks. Our supplies had come
to an end. But our bodies
urgently demanded food to re-
plenish their spent energy. How,
ever, there was nothing we could
do about it, so some Of us lay
down on the sleeping shelves and
some played dominoes. Conver
Sation was devoted to the crucial
question of how to procure food
In the evening, we decided to
try our luck with the comman
ders themselves. Korolov and ]
went up to the lighted house
of our local commander and
knocked at the door. Inside we
heard the clamor of many male
voices and some chirping in
higher pitch. Nobody responded
to our knock, so we opened th'
door and entered the little entry
hall. From the next room came
the sound of a falling chair and
a loud cry:
Don't you dare kiss her, you
swine"
A shot resounded, followed By
shout from everybody. Then
all was still. The door opened
and the head of the commissariat
department rushed out, pale and
frightened. After him came the
flushed commander of the work
post, who pulled open the outer
door and shouted at the top OF
his voice:
Horses! Horses at Once!"
It was good policy for us tc
sneak out. People were rushing
UP to the house from all sides
The head of the commisSariat
had fetched the medical attend
ant and they both ran in.
The Washington times., 1935-10-12
TickLish Situation

We waited. In few minutes
a horse and sleigh drove up to the
porch and Golubatnikov's large
hulk was carried out of the house
and placed in it. His head was
bandaged and covered with blood,
his face was livid. Mosagin
jumped into the sleigh. braced the
wounded man against his Shoul-
der, and held him around the
waist.
Full speed to Ust-SysOlsk"
he shouted.
The next day the whole work
post knew that Mosagin had shot
Golubat in a fit of jealousy,
when the latter took advantage OF
his standing as an old friend to
kiss his wife in front of the others.
Our medical attendant said that
the wound was mortal.
It was a tickliSh situation. Ac-
cording to penal camp regulations,
it was the duty of the local COM
mander to arrest the murderer.
But the local commander was a
prisoner and the transgresSor a
free official of the adminiStra'
ton who could not be arrested by
a prisoner. no matter what his
position. Therefore Mosagin left
on his own accord, carrying with
him the victim of his unbridled
jealousy.
This incident caused but little
commotion at the work post. Life
went on as usual. But the mer-
curry went down to thirty below.
1t was cold and damp in our
barracks in spite of the heat ex'
uded by the bodies of three hun
dred inmates. Our little group
was still together and we took pos
session of the lower tier Of shelves
from the door to the window.

No Blankets

There was not quite enough
room, but the cold made certain
degree of closeness even desirable.
OF course, we could not think Of
undressing, first because there
were no mattresses, blankets or
pillows, but chiefly because of the
temperature.

camps of the OGPU are not fur

Is 1t Sour Grapes
With England?

To the Editor of The Times:
Thanks for your map of the
Mediterranean showing where the
various British and Italian fleets
are stationed in the Mediter,
ranean.
Ethiopia seems to be a very
small portion of Africa. How
much of Africa do the British
own-10 times more than the size
of Ethiopia, I'll venture to say.
Personally, I think the nations of
Europe are just about as crazy to
let England have all the grapes as
we are to let the Roosevelt ad-
ministration have everything in
America. Please publish a map
showing all of England'S posses
sionS, particularly in Africa.
