The beautiful daughter of Lieuten-ant-General Uenevsky stood before ! her judges at Moscow the other day (says tlie London Daily News correspondent, at St. Petersburg) and calmly heard them sentence her to exile for ten years in Siberia, with hard labor. The clue which led to her arrest was of an extraordinary character. After the attempt to assassinate Admiral Dubassoff, the police searched" numbers of houses and found a flat fitted up as a bomb factory, where an explosion had taken place. In' one room was the first finger of a woman’s left hand. Acting on this clue, they searched the hospitals; and in one found Mdlle. Uenevsky, who had Tiecn brought there by unknown persons. Her left hand had been amputated. While in prison she was married to M. Shestakoff, a jrolitical prisoner. Bridal crowns were held above their heads,’ a priest chanted the ancient piayers, blessed them, and joined them as man and wife. Now the young bride —she is only 24—goes forth to the hardships and terror of exile, and of work too painful for a delicately-nurtured girl, and her husband remains in his cell in the Moscow prison.
