EX-CZAR'S DEATH.
FRESH LIGHT ON EXECUTION,
Fresh light is thrown on the execution of the former Emperor Nichols and his family by, the | Ekaterinburg correspondent of the Arasadya Gazeta of Leningrad. The correspondent writes that the locul Cheka and Soviét authorities at Ekaterinburg at first intended to try the dethroned monarch and his family before a special commission of which Leon Trotsky was to be the leading state prosecutor, but the imminent fall of the town to the Czecho- slovakian troops made this in- advisable. The family therefore was exécuted in the half-under- ground house where they were interned.
Victims Not Informed.
It was decided not to inform the victims of their impending fato, says the enrrespondent, and when the clock struck twelve midnight a they were ordered to get up and dress themselves, and go down- stairs, it being alleged that White troops were about to bombard the house.
The former Czar, his wife, his son, and four daughters, as well as four members of his suite, then descended into the half-cellar, where the commandant of the house read the sentence to them, adding that there was absolutely no hope of saving them.
Tragic News Petrlied Family.
This tragic news petrified the condemned family, and the last- works spoken by the ex-Czar aro said to have been, "You will not bring us elsewhere?"
The correspondent also pub- Ishes a letter written by the former Emperor, and mentions that the house was often visited by nuns, who brought food, in which messages from Royalist Russions were frequently con- cealed.

For three years a "Turkish. Blend," Chesterfield, has been the fastest-growing cigarette, over there in the homeland of tobacco. And because smokers' desires are the same the world over, the same qualities of taste, fragrance, and delicacy of "balance" are steadily winning new friends for Chesterfield over here.
