TURKS BURN TO
DEATH 1
PETROGRAD, Peb. 24. — Dr. Jacob
I
Sargis, an American Methodist medi
cal missionary, who has arrived In Pe
i trograd after narrowly escaping death
I at the hands of the Turks and Kurds
|In Ummlah. Persian Armenia, asserts
| that among the outrages committed
jagainst the Christian refugees was the
- burning to death of an American doc
tor named Simon or Shlmmun, as he
i was known there. His identity was not
i further established, but the story of
i the outrage as told by Dr. Sargis, was
! as follows:
| "Dr. Shimmun was in the village or
\ Supnrghan when the Turks attacked
[ that place fie was among those who
took refuge on a mountain near the
lakes. He was captured, and told
that since he had been a good doctor
and had helped the wounded, they
! would not kill him, but that he must
accept the Mohammedan faith. He re
fused, as almost all Christians did.
They poured oil on him. and, before
applying the torch, they gave him an
other chance to forsake his religion.
Again he refused, and they set his
«firi» U'hilp ritrmintr in npnnv
from the flames, the Turks shot him
several times. After he fell to the
ground unconscious they hacked his
head off. Mr. Alien, an American mis
sionary, who went from village to
[village burying the victims of this
| butchery, found the body of Shimmun
! half eaten hv dogs.
■‘The Catholic mission here took U>0
Christians of all sects and kept them
in a small room and tried to save them
' hut at least forty-nine of them, among
] them one Bishop Dinkha. of the Rpis
I copal mission, were hound together
lone night, taken to Gagin mountain
and there shot down.”
Dr. Sargis was bf>rn in Persia, hut
went to America in 1803, and was edu
cated there by assistance of Dr. W.
P. Oldham, former bishop of India. He
is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan and
Ohio Medical University, and was for
[a time resident physician of the Pro
testant Hospital at Columbus. Ohio.
Dr. Sargis was doing relief work in
[ Urumiah on .January 1 last vear. when
the Hussian army retired from that
city, followed by 14,000 refugees from
Urumiah and a hundred surrounding
villages. The hardships and suffer
ings endured by those refugees were
described in Associated Press dls
patches. There were stilt left in Uru
iniah and the villages 45.000 persons.
J chiefly Armenian refugees, when the
.Turks and Kurds entered. The latter
I at once began (he work of extermina
tion of the Christian population. In
one town alone. Gulfarchin, in one
night, according to Dr. Sargis. 71 men
and hoys were tied hand to hand,
taken to a hill outside the village and
shot. Their wives and daughters were
distributed among the Turks. Kurds
and Persian Mohammedans. Dr. Sar
gis’ story continues:
“On the second day after the Turk
ish officers came they had a good
many wounded and sick. As soon as ■
they heard that I was an able physi-,
cian they took me, gave men a body-|
guard and put me in charge of ITru- .
miah hospital. That was how I came j
to learn most of their secrets: I
helped their wounded and sick. One
day there were sixty m<-:i brought
from Bashkal, all well to do citizens, j
some of them noted men of that place.
They were used as beasts of htfde i.!
forced to carry rolls of barbed wire
into Crumiah. The next day they were
taken to the Castle of Ismavil and
every one was shot or hacked to
death.
“About that time Nurl. the gover-1
nor of C.nvr, told me that he had re
ceived word from the Turkish com-,
manded to kill all the Armenian sol- \
dlers in the Turkish army. He said
that for my sake lie would not do It,
but that somebody else would. Twen
ty-nine were killed about fifteen miles,
from Ilrumiah at Karmad. We had.
eight of them In the city, fine fel-j
lows, some of them educated In Bel-,
rut. They had been disarmed, and
one night they took them to the sub-^
urbs and shot them. Hut one of them, ^
named Aslam, escaped. He dropped a
with the others, but was not hit. Af- d
i ter the butchers left he mude his way
to the Presbyterian mission college. I
was notified and asked to take rare
of him. I kept him until the Russian 2
I army came. He joined, and is now
j fighting with them. 1:
"Soon after the Russians left Uru- D
tnlah, a German machinist, Neuman,
who came in with the Turks, an
nounced himself as German consul.
My his orders a Christian by the name A
of Mushi, was hanged. Neuman had
promised me to release Mushi, but I
overnight lie sold him to the Turks g
for *250. An Englishman named
Johnathan George, well known In Ta
briz, a relative of my wife, was whip-|^
ped on Neuman's orders. In the vll- ^
luge of Garajaln, a voting Christian I *
I T
with a wife and two children w'as ♦
killed by a Mohammedan. The mur- ♦
derer took the wife and children, pro- ♦
raising to protect them. Hut while ♦
crossing a bridge he threw the child- ♦
ren into the river and kept the woman : *
in his house until the Russians came ; *
and liberated tier. At Ardasha 75 J
w omen and girls went into the sea to ! J
escape the Turks. They refused to 1 *
trust promises of safety if they came [ f
| T
out. and all were shot as they stood f
in ttie water. Eighty five hundred ♦
died in the vicinity of Urumiah in five ♦
months. I,5o0 were killed and the rest ♦
died of rold and hunger. ^

of her daughter or son to a place for *
