The. history of*the political exllo system ls most interesting and [ pa thetic throughout. Ti io first mention bf - exile in Russian legislation is in 1648, but companies ;o* criminals ,woro sent out to Siberia soon after its dis covery and . conquest. At'that Um J tho Russian criminal coda was al most incredibly tiu'.al and barbaroue. Many of its details wore too' cruel and gruesome to relate. . Men were impaled on sharp sticke,, tanged "nd beheaded by hundreds, for Offenses that, would not now bo regarded a3 capital ia any civilized Country, wnilo lesser .offenders were flogged, with tho knout, beaten with the bastinado, usually on the soles of the feet; branded with hot, irons,, suspended in ti';? air by hooks, and mutilated- by amputations, until they, died a.linger-! ing and /miserable death. '.' The . .government at length ?" deter ( mined'.?pon the Siberian exile system ;??r two? reasons: One, to rid the com munity of .criminate, end two, to save ' tho government-the expenso of car ' lng. fer ' offenders.
