Robert Crozier Long, Commissioned by the
Hearst News Service, Makes a Searching
Investigation at Bialystok and Lays the
Blame for Outrage Where it Belongs.
Hen I* a story—graphic and hldeoue—of the maaeacre of. Jews, meh
women and children, at Bialystok, Ruula, told by Robert Croaler Long, a
writer of note, who was commissioned by the Hearst News Service, of New
Tork, to go from St. Petersburg, where he had been watching events In the
national capital of the osar’s empire during the meeting of the douma, to
the rlot-rldden town and tell what he saw and learned.
He was not permitted & send his account from Bialystok, and had to
go to Warsaw, Poland, to put It on the wires. He declares the massacre
was essentially ofltclal; 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 made evident by Investigations such as
Mr. Long made.
Many Jews 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-
Inelf. Such Is the Indisputable conclu
sion regarding the Bialystok massacre
of the Jews. In unbridled, elemental
human passions, Klshlneff Is equaled
by Bialystok, but for far-sighted plot
ting and for cold-blooded atrocity In
execution Bialystok Is Incomparably
the worst "pogrom" (antl-Jewlsh 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
attending last night and the day In the
ravaged city. The pogrom ceased flnel-
|y with the Cossack slaughter of a
Jew who was trying to reclaim his
Stolen goods, but hundreds 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 disfigured.
Massacre Was Official.
I visited nil parts of the town, tak
ing evidence .from' both Jewish nnd
Christian residents. The stories from
the latter are even mote damning to
the authorities. —
The massacre was esHontlally offi
cial. The police, military hooltgana-fM' 4

nate roles In every csss. At a period
When a moss of butcheries occurred
the police and soldiers * uh * r *5'L?*i y

There are many authenticated cases
of soldiers themselves perpetratng

where the wont massacre* occurred,

regiment, accompanied by two off|c«ib

Tortured and Mutilated.
Throughout the town for two days
the massacres continued. Fiendish tor
tures and mutilation of the corpses In
variably followed the massacre with
active or passive co-operation of the
authorities. . „

POSTOFFICE ROBBED,
MISTRESS ASSAULTED
AND LOCKED IN VAULT
Special to The Georgian.
.Dallas, Oa., Juno 21.—The postofflee
was robbed here today at about 11:48
o'clock by a man wearing a black
mask.
Mrs. Battle Golden, the postmlstrees,
was knocked down by the robber,
held In hie hand a large knife
which he Inflicted a wound on her
wrist and one on her forehead.
from which he approached.
The robbery was committed
minutes. There la no clew exc
mask nnd a description of tl
The dogs failed to track the robber.
Bloodhounds were placed on tl" ‘ “
and tho man la being pursued.
Mrs. Golden was not dang,
wounded.
Jewish hospital had her leg sawed off
while she was yet alive. Others were
carved to death slowly.
In ths 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 off. In
many cases nails were dslven Into the
face or skull. One old man had his
eyes torn out.
I have established the fact that the
massacre was planned days Ih advance.
Slaughter Wall Planned.
For Instance, when the Jewish depu
tation on Tuesday asked a police of
ficer named Sheremetleff for permis
sion to lay a werath on the grave of a
murdered police master named Der-
gatchoff, Sheremetleff cynically an-
awered, ’’You’ll get an answer on
Thurstlny," which was the first day of
the killing.
Dergatchoff was a clever and 'hu
mane man, boloved by Jews and Chris
tians. Ills murder by the Jew-baiters
gave his subordinates freedom to exe
cute their plot
The governor of Grodno province Is
equally guilty. He arrived on Thurs
day evening and stayed only two hours.
He did nothing io‘stofi'the massacre,
and worse violence followed his visit.
Wars Not Dishonored.
Tho appointment by the douma of .an
Investigating committee enused a cei
satlon of slaughter. The small pro.
Iiortlon of wounded or killed shown the
Impunity with which the murderers
were allowed to finish their victims.
Every ravaged house I visited shows
that the raiders were left In posses
sion for hours. A rtmarkablo feature
of this massacre is the absence of out
rages on the women, Though thirty
were killed, there Is no authenticated
case of outrage discoverable. Thle la
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 Jewish hospital and
seven In the Christian hospital, but the
cqrpses of those dragged from the train
and killed were burled without being
counted. •
Children's Toys Smashtd.
The material destruction Is enorm
ous.
' The houses Into which ths mob broke
wers literally destroyed. Even the
wall paper was torn down. The riot
ers stole everything portable; even the
children’s toys were smashed. The
heavy furniture and the unsmaahabte
things were thrown out of the win
dow!. The merchant's account books
wers burned and only the bars walls
were left.
In a bakery, where the owner was
killed, the mob soaked loaves of bread
In a pool of blood, leaving behind an
Ironical note. It le estimated that ths
loss will amount to 2,000,000 roubles.
Today the town Is qulst and It Is not
expected that a renewal of the massa
cre will occur, but there Is a panic
among the Jews, who are migrating
by the wholesale.
A local committee of relief has been
formed, and It Is hoped that New York,
where there are thousands of formsr
man from Bialystok, will help In the
work of assistance which Is so urg
ently needed.
CZAR WONT PERMIT
MINISTERS TO RESIGN
By Private Leased Wire.
Bt. Petersburg, June 21.—A dispatch
from Warsaw says:
"At Illasan the Bolkhofsky regiment
mutinied on June 10. The men sur
rounded the Officers* Club' and fired
upon It. Several office* were killed.
Panic prevails at Rlszarn. Ths Jews
are fleeing.”
Moat alarming reports are In circu
lation about disaffection among the
guards, Including the Bemnoffaky regi
ment and the Hussars. The Kron
stadt garrison and warships are being
transferred elsewhere.
The ministry of ths 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 the
emperor has not yet decided to let
them go. The situation, therefore, re
mains alarming. A telegram from a
member of the douma Investigating
matters at Bialystok says:
•The massacre was pre-arranged. A
mare handful belonging lo the " Black
Hundred" did the wrecking, while the
soldiers did the killing."
M. Schepkln, also a member of the
douma committee, reports:
"We wished especially to bring home
the responsibility to the government. If
the massacre waa organised In Bt. Pe
tersburg. But our conclusions are that
It was not planned In Bt. Petersburg;
neither do we find that Chief of Police
Sberometleff of Bialystok. was a party
to the plot. However, the responsibil
ity of his subordinates, together with
that of the rank and file of the police
and some of the military officers who
fondly imagined that the odtoua T sya- 5*||* r
ram of von Plahve- and Trepoff- has GlfWKr,
not #rd«L 1* clear! v Droved.”

Thursday morning shortly before 6
O’clock at the Central railway freight
depot, at the foot of Alabama street,
Abner D. McMillan, of No. Ml East
Hunter street, a switchman of the
Central, when asked how he felt, cool
ly and slmlllngly remarked that he had
a headache.
The shots were fired by C. C. Daniels,
njght watchman at ths depot. One of
ths bullets struck McMillan In ths fore
head, while the other cut a hols In ths
back of the head. Both of the bullets
appear to have glanced, and as a result
made only flesh wounds.
At ths time ot the shooting th> pistol
waa held almost against McMillan’s
head, and that he waa not Instantiy
killed Is considered remarkable.
Seixsd Smoking Pistol,
At ths second shot, the 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, a telegraph
operator, came to his rescue.

Directly after the shooting Daniels
went to the police station and surren
