SEVERE PUNISHMENT
FOR RUSSIAN TRAITOR
PETROORAD, Oct. 11.—The re
sult of the trial of General Soukhom
linoff proves to be a surprise to the.
general public, who expected that the
former war minister would be found
not guilty. The procurer general de
clared that the verdict cannot be
quashed on a technicality, as no high
er court exists.
Soukhomlinoff's sentence, life im
prisonment. carries with it the sever
est form of incarceration called “kat
gora." The first ten years the con
vict passes through different stages
of punishment, including chains on
the feet, sometimes on the hands al
so, and he may be chained to a wheel
barrow. The next several years "on
reformation” are spent in prison with
out chains. Next, “on probation" un
til finally the stage is reached where
the convict is set at liberty in a vil
lage from which he must not depart.
The several stages are shortened by
good conduct and the convict finally
has the chance to become a free Sib
erian settler.
