MURDERS BY POLICE  IN SERVLL  SIXTY VICTIMS.  A MAGISTRATE IMPLICATED.  A great sensation has been caused by tho detection in Serria of an organised band of murderers. The number ot their victims is said to be over sixty. The discovery was made under the following remarkable circumstances. j About three weeks ago a Russian carpet merchant named Abramovies arrived at Pirot to! make his annual purchases. He took up his! quarters at one of the large inns of the town. Towards ten o'clock, while he was making merry with a party of friends, two gendarmes called at the inn and requested Abramovica to follow them to the Prefecture. Although Abramovics exhibited his passport in proper order, he was taken off by the gendarmes. As he bad not. returned by two o'clock the next day, some of his friends went to make enquiries at the Prefecture, and there they ascertained that he had not been seen, and that no order bad been issued for his arrest. Meanwhile, some peasants found his body in an old entrenchment made during the war. Infotrnation was given to the peputy Prefect, who forthwith sent troops to arrest the lieutenant of gendarmerie and all his men. The lieutenant was with difficulty prevented from committing suicide. According to a statement made by two of the gendarmes they received orders from their lieutenant to take Abramovies to the Pollee Station. When he arrived there he was shown a warrant of arrest issued against him charging him with spying. He was told , that he would be taken to the Bulgarian I frontier, and that his effeets had been sent! on before him. He was put into a one-horee conveyance, but instead of being driven to the Bulgarian frontier he was taken to the entrenchments, murdered, and robbed of 1,503 napoleMis. The prisoners are mid to have confessed afterwards that daring the last two years sixty people had been murdered in the same way. Twentytwo gold vratches and a large number of sings and lockets were found at their houses. Two correepondents of French newspapers who were at Pirot during the war are supposed to be amongst their victims It is believed that a ring belonging to one of them has been found, and a wax impression of it has been sent to France. One of Prince Alexander's grooms on his way back to Germany was murdered by the same band. A telegram fsem Semlin states that the lieutenant of gendarmerie under arrest charges the Deputy Prefect of Pirot with complicity in the crimes. He has likewise been taken into custody, and is zeported to have confessed, alleging that in the case of Abramovies and of another murder he acted on atiperior ostlers. It would appear the accounts seieswed fp to tho passant ia several instaares, politasal motives were bottom of die crimes.
