IX--SEQUEL: A SLOVACK SOLDIER AND A HANGMAN

The sequel to this stirring story remains to be told. Who was the

noble Slovack soldier--true to his race and his duty towards a Slav in

trouble--who assisted General Korniloff to escape, and what was his

ultimate fate? For three months nothing was known. Only recently was

the author of these lines able to read in the Hungarian papers the

account of a court-martial, held at Presburg, which had condemned to

death by hanging "a Slovack soldier, named Francis Mornyak, proved to

have been guilty of having assisted General Korniloff to escape from

the château of Esterhazy." The execution of this obscure hero took

place immediately after the judgment.
