POLITICAL PRISONER EXECUTED. A BRUTAL SPECTACLE. TEHERAN, January 28. Muvakkar Sultaneh, a member of the deposed Shah's entourage, who recently returned to Teheran from Paris, was arrested for intriguing against the Constitution, and hanged. When the sentence was executed the rope broke, and a second was fetched. Muvakkar was subjected to blows from the hutts of the soldiers' rifles. The victim attempted to climb the rcpe, until in five minute he became exhausted and died. The Teheran correspondent of "The Times" protests against the bungling, and describes the execution as a brutaMsing spectacle.
