Two Torturers in Russia and a Secretary’s View on Homesteads
The piece recounts a St Petersburg tribunal trial from April 25, 1856, convicting ooriadnik Herassimoff for torturing peasants including Marakine and the Antonoff brothers to extract confessions of a robbery. It details brutal methods, testimony, and a lenient one-year sentence. It compares actions elsewhere in Russia, notes bootook torture, and cites Western reactions. It then shifts to U.S. policy, describing Secretary Lamar’s stance on continuous residence for homesteads, reversing a General Land Office decision that canceled Samuel Wild’s entry, and allowing practical residence proof for poor claimants.
