has been mentioned before, disguised in peasants' costume, overheard some Gaidamaks on Sunday morning say to a group of Christians that after two o'clock they were going to repeat the massacre of the day before. He set off for the house of his parents, who lived in Alexandrovskaya street near the commandant's house, to warn them of the impending massacre. In the house, besides his parents and sisters, he found his younger brother, a cousin, and a more distant relative. From the window they soon saw five Gaidamaks with the commandant's assistant, Kovalevsky, approaching the house. This Kovalevsky was well acquainted with his younger brother and had even granted him permission to carry a revolver. They quickly hid their old father and the women who were in the house in the garret, and themselves opened the door to the Gaidamaks.

On the next day, about 5 P.M., all the prisoners were taken out in the street and drawn up in rank and file, Christians and Jews separately. A vigorous Gaidamak came up to the group of Jews and said triumphantly: "Well, you Jews, you won't come back to us any more, we are going to send you all into the land committee," which, in the
