Russian Empress and
Children Burned to
Death, Says Courier
Paris, July 1 (S. The Russian em
press and her children were burned
alive after the execution of Em
peror Nicholas at Ekaterinburg, it
is alleged in statements attributed
tc Alexis Dolrovitz, formerly
courier to the empress, published
here today. Dolrovitz said he made
vain attempts to save his mistress
and her children.
The empress and the children,
Dolrovitz declared, were taken to a
wood near Ekaterinburg. Brush
wood was gathered and a huge fire
made, into which the royal victims
were forced. Every time they
sought to get out of the flames, Dol
rovitz said, they were driven back
at the point of the bayonet.
Tatiana, the empress' second
daughter, fled from the pyre three
times and eventually fell pierced
through by a bayonet. The empress
and Alexis, heir to the throne,
clasped in close embrace, walked
almost automatically into the
flames and disappeared in a whirl
of smoke, according to Dolrovitz.

Newry, County Down, Ireland,
Julv lo. "There were no servants
in felwell's home at night time," said
Mrs. Annie Kane, former house
keeper of Joseph B. Elwell, the
murdered turfman and whist au
thority of New York, in an interview
here today.
"One night I forgot the keys to
my own home. I returned to the
Elwell house and let myself in,
slipped into the kitchen and found
Elwell with my cap and apron on.
frying bacon and eggs for himself
and four lady friends and two
gentlemen who had returned with
him from the theater. It was about
11 o'clock.
"Elwell was all excitement when
he saw me. He tried to slip off the
apron and cap and asked me what
I wanted. I said I wanted the keys
and told him where they were and
he got them for me."
Names Another Woman.
Mrs. Kane told of other incidents
observed by her in her long serv
ice with Elwell. She mentioned the
name of another woman friend of
the murdered ' man a girl from
Brooklyn to whom he gave money.
The former housekeeper smiled
broadly at the reported assertion of
a young woman that she was merely
a casual acquaintance" of Elwell.
Mrs. Kane went on:
"The way Elwell treated his wife
was pitiful.
"While he squandered money on
other women, he turned down his
wife when she told him how difficult
it was to make both ends meet. She
asked his assistance and some
money to enable her to open up a
business for herself, but Elwell just
glanced over the letter and threw
it into a drawer. The way he treat
ed his wife got the servants more
o rless against him. Many times
we were inclined to ring up Mrs.
Elwell and tell her to come over and
take charge of the home.
Disdained Own Folks.
"Mr. Elwell never wanted his own
people near him. I remember hew
his father use! to write him, appeal
ing to him to send funds to his wife,
and saying the ollowance was long
overdue and she was in bad straits.
"Elwell used to forget his wife,
but all the time would pay out lav
ishly to other women. He nevir
wanted any member of his family
near him. After making certain in
vestments for his family he sad to
me:
"'That finishes them.'
"As a matter of fact, I believe El
well was ashamed of the life he was
leading and didn't want his relatives
to know."
5 Mrs. Kane when told that one of
the women she mentioned had e
nied the statements concerning her
friendship with Elwell made by Mrs.
K?ne in her now famous affidavit to
the denial thus:
"This young woman came with her
older .sister to Mr. Ehvell's Palm
Beach home and was entertained
there as other society people were."
Concerning the visit of the woman
to the Elwell house, Mrs. Kane said
that Elwell came to .her one day
and said:
" 'Annie, haven't you got a place
to go to today?'
"I was surprised at this and said,
'no.' It was Sunday morning.
" 'Well,' he said, 'I've got some
friends upstairfs. 1 don't want them
to be disturbed before 6 tr 7 o'clock
this evening.' I took some hours otT
and returned before 4 o'clock, be
lieving Mr. Ehvell's friends were
still there. " But they had gojie.
Saw Society Woman.
"One morning I came in eartv
and saw woman down stairs. I
tlipped into a room and saw her fix
her hat in front of a mirror. I sav
she was a society woman. There
was no mistake about that
"Thank God there was no Irish
woman among Ehvell's lot. They
were mostly Germans or had Ger
man sounding 'names.
"Especially, there was , of Brook
lyn. She used to get a check tor
$50 at a time from him.
"Elwell employed the Burns De
tective agency to Watch his wife.
The Burns men trailed her for a
long time, but she is a good woman
and they couldn't get anything on
her.
"Mr. Elwell was dissatisfied at this,
and when the Burns people sent
him the bill he entered into a long
controversy with them and refused
to pay it, saying the men hadn't
earned the money. He kept dupli
cates of the letters he sent them and
later destroyed some of them, but
eventually I believe, the Burns peo
ple filed suit against him and he
settled, as far as I know.
"Elwell used to give parties at his
lionie at night when the servants
were gone. One morning I came in
early and found Elwell descending
the stairs. He went into the roon.
where a party had been held the
night before. I came in after him
and found all the gold rimmed
tumblers broken, as if they had been
thrown against the wall during the
night. When he saw me he said:
"There's an awful smash here.
Annie. I'm trying to clear things
awav."
Cows Eat Mash From Still
And Get'Beatly" Drunk
Durham, N. C. July 16. John
King, a farmer living near this city,
last night fourjd two of his cows in
a stupor in their pasture, apparently
suffering from some strange mal
ady. A veterinarian was called and
after lengthy examination pro
nounced both animals as merely
"beastly" drunk. A search for the
cause led to the discovery of a big
"moonshine" still in a secluded cor
ner of the pasture. The cows had
eaten a quantity of the mash used
by the illicit whisky manufacturers.
