HOW BEILISS WAS TREATED
REMARKABLE DISCLOSURES
("TinjM ,, Sydney "Sun" Spe<v%l Cable.) ST. PETERSBURG, December 1. Beiliss, in an interview, mado some remarkable disclosures regarding his .treatment in prison. Fearing poison, ho always induced his soldier guards to share his food. His coll door was left open to imnte him to escape. He peered through once, and saw a man holding a revolver creep silently away. He would undoubtedly havo been shot if he had attempted to escape. The night before tfio vordjet a soldier visited the cell, ordered him to strip, and then searched his clothes and. mouth, and combed his beard. In reply to remonstrances the soldier said: — "Shut up, you devil. I have been told to kill you." Beiliss's cries brought the governor, who said they were looking for poison. Mounting the staircase on the final morning, he passed two students wearing "Black Hundred" buttons. One of them, shaking his fist a£ Beiliss, said: "They will teach you to kill Christian children, you dirty Jew." He was greatly cheered by the preeence of a hundred journalists, knowing that all countries would be made aware of the facts and nothing hushed up.
