A Russia based anecdote recounts painter Verestehagin witnessing two Albanian highwaymen hanged during the Russo Turkish war. The tale follows eager artist curiosity, a reluctant general Struko, and Skobeloff steering away from execution, leaving the event as a moral or artistic concern rather than a graphic spectacle. The narrative also notes related discoveries about ancient roses bound with mummies and a botanical note on a rose species from Abyssinia.

The brother protested, suing to overturn the aerial valuations, and the couple reportedly enjoys spending the fortune.
