(This is a continuation of the
third installment of the terrors of
Russian tortures told by a suf
ferer.)
In the beginning of the same
month a railway employe, Kreger,
with his wife and daughter, Amalia.
was arrested at the station of
Ringsmundshof. The parents were
both nearing "0. The daughter was
23. Amalia Kreger was suffering
with a serious disease, and had just
returned from St Petersburg,
where she had been lying for some
time In a hospital.
Some socialist leaflets had been
found during a search in her
father's house, and the whole fam
ily was arrested In consequence
and brought to Lindvarden. They
were handed over to Prinz and
lonin. The old father was in feeble
health and soon became uncon
scious under the torture, and the
dragoons, believing him to be dead,
dragged him out of the room and
threw him into a sort of granary,
which did duty as a morgue.
The daughter was forced to be
present in the room during the tor
ture of her parents, and the mother
subsequently beheld the agony of
her daughter. The torture took
place in the story above us, so that
we could hear the groans and cries
of the victims, loiter on the old
man revived, and was thrown one
day into our cell. Two days later
all three were taken to the torture
chamber again.
One day—l don't remember ex
actly which —I was summoned to
the dreaded room. There I found
lonin, Prinz, several other officers
and dragoons and the three unfor
tunate Kregers. We four W< re
made to stand up together, which '
we were hardly able to do because
of our great weakness. lonin !

showed me various photographs
which had been found in Kregers
house.
"Do you know these persons?" he
asked me.
I replied in the negative.
"Do you know this man?" he
asked Amalia Kreger.
The girl replied:
"No, I don't know him."
And, Indeed, we were perfect
strangers. But hardly had she ut
tered the words than the dragoons
fell upon her and began to flog her
brutally. lonin trampled upon her
body with his heavy boots, and the
unhappy girl filled the air with des
perate shrieks of pain. After a
while she was made to stand up
again and lonin asked once more:
"Do you know this man?"
She again answered in the nega
tive, and the flogging began again.
This time lonin, nagaika in hand,
taking part in it. All this was done
in the presence of her old parents,
who sobbed helplessly at the sight.
These proceedings lasted for
three or four hours, when we were
all four thrown back into our cells.
After two weeks of repeated tor
ture Amalia Kreger was taken
away to Riga, to the central prison.
The girl was so exhausted and mu
tilated that she could not stand,
and the dragoons were obliged to
carry her out in their arms, she
being driven in a cart through the
fields to the station.
The parents were released at the
same time. They parted from their
daughter with bitter tears. I wit
nessed the scene from the window
of my cell. She is still lying in the
Riga prison hospital, although two
years have passed since then, "a
most pitiable sight of a mutiHated
woman." as the prison doctor told
me later, when I was also placed
in the same hospital. She is still
"POP' COREY.
unable not only to walk, but even
to sit up without help. I'ntil now
there has been neither trial nor in
vestigation of her case. Could, she
be brought before any court in her
present condition?
Soon after the Kreger family de
parted the dragoons brought a lit
tle girl of about 8 years of age,
Anna Puren, into the court yard.
The child, suspecting no harm,
walked cheerfully along" between
her guard. Her father was a farm
laborer who had taken part in the
revolutionary movement of 1905,
and since then had been hiding in
the forest. The family was entirely
without means, and therefore the
Child, her mother, and her grand
parents had • been living in the
Ringsmundshof almshouse.
The little girl was accused of
having taken food to her father in

HOW THEY CUT
OFF JOE'S ARM
BY HERBERT QUICK
BY HERBERT QUICK.
CHICAGO, Ills., Oct. 20.—Little
Joe Hulanda, 14 years oW, lives in
this city. He is one of the hun
dreds of thousands of boys who eke
out a distorted and stunted life,
morally and physically, in the pul
sating tumor of American life, the
great city. Morally, he grew so
crooked under the perssure of this
nightmare life that he became a
"ward" of the juvenile court. Phys
ically his system got poisoned by
virus and weakened by unnatural
conditions so that gangrene at
tacked an injured arm. and the doc
tors, called in after health was de
parted, said that the arm must be
cut off. or he would die.
And here the state which seems
unable to prevent or cure the con
ditions which bring on gangrene in
body and soul, came in and vindi
cated its power and dignity.
Little Joe's father, knowing tha
horrible fate that is likely to befall
the maimed in this devil take the
hindmost civilization of ours, pro
tested against the cutting off of his
boy's arm. He preferred the change
that Joe might die to the certainty
that in a world where a living
comes hardly to two hands the bo,y
with but one must sink to beggery,
to that hell underneath society, into
which the disabled sink —the hell
of the man who connot be a good
workman, or even a "good" hobo
or a "good" yeggman.
And little Joe, agreeing with his
father, fought against tbe-loss of
that precious arm with all his child
ish strength. He was young, but he
knew the inferno into which his
father saw him slipping.
Put Judge Tithill issued the nec
essary order, aud the state tpok
poor little Joe. held him on an Op
erating table in spite of his strug
gles, gave him chloroform and cut
off the gangrened arm. To save a
human life it dismembered a hu
man body, against the will of the
two human minds most nearly con
cerned.
It sounds like a story of old
Sparta! The state —the people in
their collective capacity, so strong
as to shear from the body of tbe
citizen his right arm, not for re
venge, not for punishment, but for
his own good!
And yet, there's another side to
the shield. This same strong state
—the collective vs —let, this boy
grow up In tho» congested condi
tions that made for gangrene. Or,
if it was not so in Hulanda's case,
it is so in millions. So strong In
applying remedies for the physical,
so weak to prevent social gangrene.
Well, cheer up! The strength we
are developing—the we of the state
—will not always be spent in cut
ting off rotten arms or revening
itself upon so-called crime. This
glorious strength of ours, we shall

kin of her, but if 1 of them had a
sister or a dotter that wanted to
be a salomy he would beat her

tick fer further orders."

frence anyway wether its yure sis

time good day we shall use It to
tear ofP the bonds that make men
evil and wayward and bestial. We
shall make things so bright with
the sun of justice that the gangrene
that festers in men's souls will
cease to poison the body poUtic.
And that will be better than cutting
men up after they become diseased.
