Forest and Stream. Cruel Punishments in Persia. Punishment by crucifixion still survives In Persia, bnt the lctim is nailed to a wall Instead of to a cross. At the gates of towns may be seen pillars of brick with domed tops about the height of a man, in which victims are walled up. They may be heard railing for water, though generally the pll lars are supposed to have their hollows filled up with earth, so that the victims cannot move and die quickly. Anetbsr way of punishment Is to bury a man up to his neck In wet slime, which, when It dries, contracts and gradually crushes hlxu. This Is the most terrible of all deaths.

It was front their arbitrary and unreasonable rulings, now happily not held within the power of the judge, that most of our records of miscarried Justice have resulted.

It was the favorite stopping place for commercial travellers and thus the most prominent and best paying hotel In the city. Ono evening a Jewelry salesman by the name of Robert Conway arrived at the hotel Just before supper. He Instructed Miller to send his grips up to his room and remarked In the hearing of several at the desk that he did not care to have them left In the general baggage room as he was carrying a far more expensive line of samples than usual.
