4. Some Touching Events Reported by Missionaries. "The Kurds being not satisfied by massacre, rapine and plunder of the living at that time, disinterred the body of a minister who died before the troubles, and fired into it volleys of bullets and treated it with almost fiendish indignities."

In another place, very far from the above mentioned, "the Turks broke the marble stones of the grave of a wealthy Armenian who died ten years before the massacres, and taking out the bones crushed them into pieces and scattered all around, making diabolic indignities."

"Children were placed in a row, one behind another, and bullets fired through the line to see how many could be dispatched with one bullet." "Infants and small children were piled one on the other, and their heads struck off. In one instance a little boy ran out ot the flames, but was caught on a bayonet and thrown back into the flames." Children were held up by their hair, and cut in two or had their jaws torn apart."
