AN AWFUL VENGEANCE.
A SPY’S DRKAUFUL FATE
A story of the awful vengeance wrought upon a man whose espionage resulted in the dismissal of a fellow workman, is cabled to the Australian papers from New York. The “ traitor,” as he was loudly denounced, was a Slav, George Rabish, who, with the man for whose discharge he was responsible, was employed at the coal mines at Ateila, in Pennsylvania.
Determined to make an example of him, the comrades of the dismissed employee went to where Rabish was lodging, and dragging him out of bed, took him to the outskirts of the town. Here they stripped him of all his clothes, and placing a crown of thorns upon his head, pressed it until the blood coursed down the victim’s body. The crowd then improvised a cross out of some timber, to which Rabish was bound hand and foot. A nail was driven through his left hand, and the wretched man was then stoned until the police appeared on the scene and cut him down. Rabish was then in a state of complete collapse, and it was not long before he died from the fearful injuries he had suffered. Up to the present the police have arrested four of the men who participated in this monstrous outrage.
