He continued from that time on to ad dress his literary efforts to the Brit ish press. Tolstoi several times was threat ened with expulsion from Russia, and several times, nccordlng to report, was upon tho point of being exiled; but he seemed on tho whole to havo been treated with unusual leniency, In view of his strongly pronounced views, especially as set forth In a manifesto entitled "Tho Poople's Rights," his criticisms of Imperial acts and his open letters to the em peror. He was, however, expelled from Moscow In July 1901, and since had resided at Yasnaya Pollana. KETCHEL'S BODY IS EXHUMED Brothers of Former Fighter Discover Evidence That He Was Beaten and Shot.
