On Thursday week the body of M. Stambotdoff lay in
state. With that medieval fierceness which characterises South- Eastern Europe, the wounds were fully displayed., in order that those who viewed the body might be appealed to by the " dumb months " of which Anthony spoke to the Roman mob. The bandages were removed from the head, and the terrible wounds with which it was covered were exposed to view. "One great gash," says the Times' correspondentā¢, "extends from the left cheek across the nose and over the right eye to near the right ear. Another passes from above the left eyebrow to the top of the head. A third extends from the left temple to behind the ear. There is also a cut on the left cheek, and a long wound descends behind the left ear to the neck. The occiput is literally covered with a network of fearful gashes, and there are three or four punctured wounds on the side of the head. At the foot of the bier stands a glass jar, filled with spirits, con- taining the mutilated hands. The first and second fingers of the left hand are wanting."
