Robert Crozier Long, Commissioned by the
Hearst News Service, Makes a Searching
Investigation at Bialystok and Lays the
Blame- for Outrage Where it Belongs.
Wert Is a story—graphic and hideous—of the massacre of Jews, men
women and children, at Bialystok. Russia, told by Robert Crosier Long, a
winter of note, who was commissioned by the Hearst News Service, of New
York, to go from St. Petersburg, where he had been watching events In the
national capital of the esar-s empire during the. meeting of the douma, to'
the riot-ridden toijn and tell what he saw and learned.
He was not permitted to send hi* account from Bialystok, and had to
go to Warsaw’, Poland, to put It on the wires. He declares the massacre
was essentially official; the police, military, hooligans and the "Black Hun
dred" played a subordinate part In the'outrage. That the slaughter was
planned far In advance, has been mad* evident by Investigation* such as
Mr. Long made.
Many Jew* were flogged to death and the bodies mutilated. Some, es
pecially girls, went mad as a result of Inhuman tortures. In their dia
bolical thirst to kill and destroy, many of the rioters demolished houses and
even smashed children's toys In the excess of their anger.

Warsaw, June 20.—Worse than Klsh-
ineff. Such Is the Indisputable conclu
sion regarding the Bialystok massacre
of the Jews. In unbridled, elemental
human passions, Klshlneft la equaled
by Bialystok, but for far-sighted plot
ting and for cold-blooded atrocity In
execution Bialystok Is Incomparably
the worst “pogrom” (anti-Jewish out
break) Russia has yet produced.
It was impossible to cable from
Bialystok, so this Is sent .from War
saw. where I arrived tonight after
spending last night and the day In the
ravaged city. The pogrom ceased flnal-
lv with the Cossack slaughter of a
Jew who wan trying to reclaim his
stolen goods, but hundred* of Jews lie
dead, many after mutilation and tor
ture. Some seventy or more are wound
ed and many are doomed to death, be
ing mutilated and hideously dlsflgufed.
Massacre Was Offiolal.
I visited all part* of the town, tak
ing evidence from both Jewish and
Christian residents. The stories from
the latter are even more damning to
the authorities.
The nmssacre was essentially offi
cial. The police, military hooligans and
the "Black Hundred" played subordi
nate rolee In every caae. At a period
when a maaa of butcheries occurred
the police and soldiers either actively
asslated or encouraged the butcheries.
There are many authenticated cases
of soldiers themselves perpetrating
slaughter. In the BOyare district,
where the worst massacres occurred,
the soldiers of the Uglltxky, Sixty-third
regiment, accompanied by two officer*,
massacred aeven Jew* at Oehnesa aaw
mill. -»
Many Jaws Become Insane.
Full detail* .of thla tragedy were
given me by the surviving manager.
When the aoldlere were occupled wlth

a small wooden houae. on which,^ at

ter and two sons were done to death
by hooligans under the command or a

Tortured and Mutilated.
Throughout the t0|Wn for two day*
the massacres continued. Fiendish tor
tures and mutilation of the corpse* In
variably followed the massacre with
active or passive co-operation of the
authorities. „ , . ...
Concerning the Vladimirsky and Ug-
llteky regiments, Jew witnesses af
firm that Colonel Bukovsky directly
cnocouraged the soldier*, crying:
“libelt* zhldoff.” That 1s. “Kill the
Jews"
Torture before death repeatedly oc
curred, and mutilation afterward*. In
Nikolai street a woman had a crow
bar thrust In her end then twisted. She
finally was hacked to piece* with a
llatchet and left to bleed to death.
Nailed to a Table.
The hands of Boyar, a tailor, were
nailed to a table while he was clubbed
to death.
A little girl whose body I saw In the
Jewish, hospital had her leg sawed off
' while she was yet alive. Otheri Were
' carved to death slowly.
In the yard of the Jewish hospital,
where eighty-six. corpses were laid
side by side, I saw thirty cases of mu
tilation. In some, noses were cut off.
In others the ears were cut ofT. In
many coses nails were driven Into the
face or skull. One old man had hla
eyes torn out.
I have established the fact that the
massacre was planned days In advance.
Slaughter Well Planned.
For Instance, when the Jewish depu
tation on Tuesday asked a police of
ficer named Bheremetleff for permis
sion to lay a werzthon the grave of a
murdered police master named Der-
gntchotr, Bheremetleff cynically an
swered. "You’ll get an answer on
Thursday," which eras tha first day of
the Wiling.
Dergatchoff was a clover and hu
mane man, beloved by Jaws and Chris
tians. His murder by the Jew-baiters
gave his subordinates freedom to exp-
cute their plot
The governor of Grodno province Is
equally guilty. lie arrived on Thurs
day evening and stayed only two hours.
11a did nothing to stop the massacre,
and worse violent i* followed Iris \lsil.
Were Not Dishonored. *.
Tho appointment by the douma of an
Investigating committee caused a ces
sation of slaughter. Tho small pro
portion of. wounded or killed shows tho
Impunity with which the murderers
were allowed to finish their victims.
Every ravaged houso I visited • shows
that the ruldeib ware 'left In posses
sion for hours. A remarkable feature
of this massacre Is tha absence of out
rages on the women. Though thirty
were killed, .there la no authenticated
cose of outrage discoverable. This. Is
explained because the hooligans and
troops got their orders only to "kill."
The precise number of deaths can.
not be learned. There are eighty-six
dead now In the Jswlsh hospital and
seven In the Christian hospital, but the
rpsr* of those dragged from the train
id killed were 'burled without being
counted.
Children's Toys 8mashad.
The material destruction Is enorm
ous.
The houses Into which the mob broke
were literally destroyed. Even the
wall' paper waa torn down. The riot,
era stole everything portable; even the
children’s toys wars smashed. The
heavy furniture and the unsmsshable
things were thrown out of the win
dows. The merchant’s account books
were burned "and only the bare walla
Nvere left.
In a baker)-, where the owner was
killed, thejnob soaked loaves of bread
In a pool of blood, leaving behind an
Ironical note. It Is estimated that the
loss will amount to 2,000,000 roubles.
Today the town Is quiet and It Is not
expected that a renewal of the massa
cre will occur, but there Is a panic
among (he Jews, who are migrating
by the wholesale.
A local committee of relief has bean
formed, and It la hoped that New York,
where there are thousands of former
men from Bialystok. will help In the
work of assistance which Is so urg
ently needed.
CZAn WONT PERMIT
MINISTERS TO RESIGN
By Private Leased Wire.
Bt. Petersburg, June 21.—A dispatch
from Warsaw says:
'At Rlaxan the Bolkhofaky regiment
mutinied on Juh* 10. The men sur
rounded the Officers’ Club and fired
upon It. Several officers were killed.
Panic prevail* at Rlazarn. Tha Jews
are fleeing.”
Most alarming reports are In clrcu
lotion about disaffection among the
guards. Including the Bemnoffsky regi
ment and the Hussars. The Kron
stadt garrison and warship* ars being
transferred elsewhere. •,
The ministry of the Interior Is said
to have received disquieting news re
garding the agrarian situation In the
southern and central provinces. The
ministers all wish to resign, but th*
emperor has not yet decided to Jot
them go. The situation, therefore, re
mains alarming. A telegram from a
member of the douma Investigating
matters at Bialystok says:
"Th* massacre was pre-arranged. A
mere handful belonging to the "Black
Hundred" did the wrecking, while the
soldiers did the killing."
U, Schepkln. also' a member of th*
douma committee, reports: ,
"W* wished especially te bring horte
th* responsibility to the government. If
the massacre was organized. In St. Pe
tersburg. But our conclusions are that
it waa not planned In Bt. Petersburg:
neither do we find that Chief ef Police
Bheremetleff of Bialystok. was a party
to the plot. However, the rcsponalMI-
tty of hla subordinates, together with
that of. the rank and file of the police
and some of the military officers who
fondly Imagined that lbs odious^ sys
tem of von Plehv* and Trspoft has
not ended. Is dearly prove*.

After having been punctured by five

Thursday morning shortly before
o'clock at the Central railway freight
depot, at the foot of Alabama afreet,
Abner D. McMillan, of No. 122 East
Hunter street, a switchman of the
Central, when asked how he felt, cool<
ly and elmtllngly remarked that he had
a headache.
The shots were fired by C. C. Daniels,
night watchman at the depot One of
the bullets struck McMillan In the fore
head, while the other cut a hole In the
back of the head. Bath of the bullets
appear to have glanced, and as a' result
made only flesh wounds.
At the time of the shooting the pistol
was held aln)ost against McMillan's
head, and that he was not Instantly
killed Is Considered remarkable.
8elzed Smoking Pletol.
At the second shot, tho nervy switch
man caught hold-of the pistol and pre
vented Daniels from again firing, hold
ing onto tho weapon with a vlce-llke
grip until A. J. Barnwell, n telegraph
operator, came to hla rescue.
The shooting directly followed a Jok-
Ipg remark, said to have been made
by McMillan to the switchman. It la
understood, however, there waa some
feeling between the men, aa the result
of court proceedings, In which both
were Interested.
Directly after the shooting Daniels
went to the police station and surren
dered. A short while later he was ar
raigned before Justice of th* Peace
Landrum and waa bound over to th*
state courts on tha charge of assault
with Intent to murder. Hla bond waa
fixed at *500. It ia thought tha bond
will be made during the day.
Daniels asserts that he acted purely
In self-defense. He stated that Mr-
Mlllan attacked him wkh an open knife
and tried to cut him, slashing hla coat.
Other witnesses, however, declared that
the switchman had no knife.
Career Like a Kentuckian.
McMillan works at night and had
Just gone off duty at tha time of the
trouble. He eaya he passed Daniels on
the depot platform, and laughingly
made a Jesting remark. He said thla
angered the watchman, who promptly
lulled his pistol and began to shoot.
Daniels says hs never used his pistol
until he thought It necessary to defend
hi* life. The shooting was Investigated
by Policemen Hutchins and Borochoff.
McMillan, who Is reputed to bo de
cidedly nervy, has had an extraordina
ry experlenca with bullets. Ho enlist

HI* narrow escape on Thursday
