PARIS, July 31 ? The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Patrie, tele
graphs details of a savage and revolt
ing case of lynching which occurred
if the village of Voleeklili, in the Gov
eminent of Volhynia.
A young and beautiful woman living
in the village had succeeded in in
curring the hatred of the other wo
men of the village by her flirtations
with the men of the neighborhood,
both married and single. The wo
men's hatred for the girl reached
a climax when It became known that
011 her account one of the young men
of the village had broken Ms prom
ise to marry another girl.
On coming out of church one Sun
day the women both young and old.
threw themselves on the flirt and.
In spite of her cries for mercy, tore
all her clothes off. They then drag
ged her through the village by the
hair of her head, beating and ston
ing her mercilessly. At first the
men laughed, but when they saw
how savagely the girl was being mal
treated they attempted to rescue her.
The infuriated women, however,
drove them off and then dragged
their unhappy victim, who was by
that time a mass of wounds, to a
large tree just outside the village,
where they hanged her o one of the
branches, and then lighted a fire of
brushwood under her.
When the polio' arrived on the
scene they found the victim of the
women's fury lying dead under the
tree blackened to a cinder.
