Bodies of Czar and Family
Burned by Sulphuric Acid
New Details of the Tragedy That Wiped Out the Russian Royal
Family on July 17, 1918, Brought Back to the United States
by Col. George H. Emerson of the Engineer Corps 1
—Scene Unspeakably Horrible.
St. Paul. Minn.—How the former
empress of Jtussia and her oldest
daughter knelt in prayer—making the
sign of l ho cross, while former Czar
Nicholas and his heir were murdered
before their eyes, and how the assas¬
sins then turned their guns and ba.v
mots on the remaining members of
(he czar’s family and their retinue,
is told in a report brought back from
Russia by Colonel George H. Emerson,
of St. Paul.
Colonel Emerson, formerly general
manager of the Great Northern rail¬
way, returned from Russia January
20. He was a member of the Ameri¬
can railway mission, beaded by John
F. Si evens, which was sent to Siberia
in November, 1917, to keep open the
Siberian railway In the hope that Rus¬
sia's forces might be kept in tlie field.
While the mission was en route the
Kerensky government went to pieces,
but Colonel Emerson wus one of those
wbolreumined in Russia for twenty-six
months attempting to assist the coun¬
try to regain Us fighting power.
Czechs Investigated Tragedy.
Extracts from a special report pre¬
pared by General Diet ricks furnish the
basis for tlu> story of the murder of
the former czar and Ids family, and
these are nuguniented by an investiga¬
tion by tin' Czechs, under command of
General Gnldu, who became a stanch
friend of Colonel Emerson.
On tin- night the czar and Ids fam¬
ily were murdered Colonel Emerson
and other members of the commission
were only about sixty miles distant.
According to the report, a copy of
which Is In Colonel Emerson’s posses¬
sion. tlie czar and Ids family were
awakened between midnight and 1 a.
m. July 17, 1918. They were brought
down stairs in their house at Ekaterin¬
burg and told the Czechs would soon
he upon them, and that therefore it
would he necessary to put them to
death. Almost Immediately the red
guards began tiring.
The mutilated bodies of many of
those mi rdered that night were dis¬
covered, but it is believed that the
bodies of the czar and of the members
of ids immediate family were con¬
sumed by great quantities of sulphuric
acid. Jewelry and trinkets possessed
by them were found near the scene of
the murder. These Included many ot
the royal jewels.
Daily Life Sharply Restricted.
With the usurpation of the govern¬
ment liy the bolshevlkl severe restric¬
tions were placed on the dally affairs
the czar’s family. Thus, a valet,
who had been in the czar’s family for
ten years, stated that after the turn¬
over “there followed severe restric¬
tions both in the funds for the upkeep
of the czar's family and in the
of its occupation, and particularly in
regard to their walks. When a

After the czar had been done to dentil
Pavel Medvedyeff, assistant to Your

family ami also the court retinue. The
bodies of the murdered were placed in
a motortruck and sent away, he said.
Eater tlie police officers took away
from Kuzma Letemln about one hun¬
dred different articles, ail having be¬
longed to the czar's family, and ob¬
tained. according to him, some time
during the cleaning of the house after
the murder. Others were taken from
his brother. Melmil, a red guard.
Woman Confirms Story.
A similar picture of tlie murder is
drawn by the wife of Medvedyeff, the
commandant’s assistant, confirming
her husband’s participation.
Prokopi Kutbienkoff, « red guard,
" l, ° •«’ V «1 In the house guard, told
that he was In the Working Men’s club
of tlie Verk-Issetsk works July 18 or
19, and that the president of tlie ex
ecullve committee of the soviet of
workmens and soldiers’ deputies.
Serge Miillshkin, tlie military conimls
suire, Peter Yermakoff and other
prominent members of tlie bolshevlkl
were conducting a secret conversation.
Kukhtenkoff said he caught the sen¬
tence :
“There were thirteen of them alto¬
gether, the thirteenth was the doctor."
As they moved away, lie followed
them and heard one of them say:
“This is the second day we have
been fussing. Yesterday we buried
them, and today we have to rebury
them.”
From this he deduced that Levat
nikh, Partin and Kostaustnkttff took
part in the funeral of the royal family,
Their talk was boastful, he said, and
they told that their victims had been
dressed in civilian clothing, in
was skillfully sewed many
lie also said he heard one of the speak
ers deny that the heir had died at
Tobolsk, ns reported; because be was
one of their victims.

As far as could tie learned by the
of inhabitants the leaders
the murder were Conimissnlre
and his assistants, a work¬
man of tin- Issetsky works. I’avcl Med
vedoff; and the red guards. Levatnlk,
Partin. Kostuustoff, Melmil, Letomin,
Xterkorin and Yakimoff. .Home of them
boasted of their participation.
The tragedy of July 17, 1918, was de¬
scribed by Capiolina Agafonovkn in
the words of iter brother, Anntole
Yakimoff. one of the red guards of the
house of Jpatyeff. She said on the day
following the murder her brother came
to her, tired and broken down, and In
great agitation announced:
“Tills night Nicholas Romanoff, his
family, the doctor, the fraulein and the
lackeys were killed. All of the eap
tlves were awakened between midnight
and one o’clock and requested to go
downstairs. Here they were told that
tlie enemy (Czechs) would soon lie in
Ekaterinburg and that therefore It
was denth."'Thcn'nnd'thWe necessary that they Vita he put to

The first to bo killed were- the em¬
peror and tlie heir. The rest of the
prisoners were wounded. They had to
lie finished off by further shooting, but¬
tering with the butt ends iff muskets
and stabbing with bayonets.
Czarina Thirty-Two Times Wounded.
“There was particularly great trou¬
ble u lilt the fraulein. She was wrig¬
gling iiud attempting to defend herself
with a pillow. On her body .'12 wounds
were counted. The grand duchess,
Anastasia Nikoialevna, bud fainted.
When tve begun to examine her stie
shrieked wildly, after which she was
killed with bayonets and rifle butts.”
According to Yakimoff, the murder
scene was so unspeakably horrible
that lie could not endure it.
“1 went outside for a breath of fresh
air several times,” he declared.
Tlie evening following the murder
Yakimoff left for the front, and when
lie came to bid farewell he was utter¬
ly out of countenance. His face was
pinched, the pupils of ids eyes dilated,
and liis tips were trembling.
Another red guard. Kuzma Letendn.
related that on the day of tlie murder
lie was to have taken his post in
sentinel booth In the street, when he
observed a boy of the emperor’s house¬
hold in the street. IVhen he inquired
j why. another of the red guards, Sle
korin, told him of the murder. Ac¬
cording to Stekorln’s story Command¬
ant YourotTsky had killed ihe czar,
having previously read to him some
paper, presumably the order of the
Ural soviet of deputies, lie told that
during the murder both the empress
j and her eldes; daughter were present.

New Britain, Conn. This is what she says:
‘‘I had cramps for three years and thought I
would never be any better. I could not eat
without distress. Slept with my mouth open
and could hardly breathe. No medicine helped
me. I had catarrh of the stomach. Now I
have no cramps and am feelitg well and
healthy. I wish every suffering person would
take PE-RU-NA.”
. Catarrh effects the mucous membranes in
any organ or part PE-RU-NA, by regulating
the digestion and aiding elimination, sends a rich, pure supply of blood
and nourishment to the sick and inflamed membranes and health
returns.

For nearly fifty years before the

post of Fort Garland, San Luis had
been a flourishing little settlement
surrounded by highly developed farms.
