A SCAFFOLD’S WEDDING
GIBBETS FOR BUDAPEST BOLSHEVIKS. PARTS, December 22. A striking description is given in the Journal to-day of the execution of five notorious Hungarian Soviet leaders in Budapest. Five gibbets were erected side by side in the courtyard of the military prison. One of the Bolsheviks, named Rover at the last moment expressed a wish to marry a girl with whom he was in love. A priest and a registrar wore fetched hurriedly.
Tlio condemned men had to walk 100 paces from the colls to the ladder which led to the scaffold, and all, with tlie exception of one named Neumayer, who had to be carried by tlie executioners’ assistants met death 'bravely. One attempted a short speech saying that he died for his ideas, but ho was not allowed to go on.
Teherny, chief of the bank known as Lenin’s Boys,” mounted the scaffold with a cigarette in his mouth.
