Smith j A Turkish Prisoner Speaks At Pageland (continued from page one) waves of emotion could be seen to pass over his hearers. His father was a Frenchman and his mother was a South Carolinian. His father came to | America in i860, fought 4 years for the Confederacy, became disgusted with negro rule in the years following the war, went back to France with his lamilv and was reinstated in the army. The younger Laurene, who was born in Mississippi, was educated in Fngland and France. He enlisted in the French armv and aided in quelling the uprising of tne Kinds in the provinces east of the Mediterranean. Then volunteered with 80 others to build some forts and military roads in the provinces where the uprising had occurred, for which each was to receive a large bonus from the government. When the work was finished, and the party encamped at an oasis some miles east of the Suez canal, a surprise attack of the Turks caught them with arms stacked. There were 460 Turks against 90 French, and 86 of the French were killed and their bodies burned. The four were taken to Ambole, 68 miles into the desert country, and placed in an ancient stock aito covering about 6 acres. The cells were thick walled, underground dungeons, foul, diirlv 11 Tilt Tl.? _:~u? ....X. viuiup. I lie I1J?I1I thumb of each prisoner was cut off, and during the 18 years Capt- Laurene remained there he spent three months of each year m the dungeon, day and night, with 40 minutes for exercise in a small enclosure, a 0011) ball being chained to his leg During the other 9 months he was itquired to do the most menial service lor the strong smell ing Turks, 12 to It hours a day. His food was scanty, consisting ( f 11nits, raw, dried meats, etc. From a giganic young man he dwindled to a weak emaciated wreck, 1 wo of the four died within a year or two from the time of their capture. The other lived with Laurene all the while, but lost his mind 6 months before their release and came out a mental and physical wreck. Capt. Laurene stated that no two weeks passed that all the nric/\norr ^ * !' iuunv.1 o 1101 severely beaten. His scars were seen by Mr. C. G. Morgan while he was here, uud Mr. Morgan states that a linger can hardly be placed on his body without touching a scar, lie received one gunshot wound and two sword cuts at the time of his capture. A part of their punishment was that the\ weie required to witness ilie murder ol many prisoners, men, women and children, when they were brought in to have their throats cut. He mention ed a number of incidents of the heartless murders be witnessed.1 On one occasion a woman audi three children were brought in. I he throats of the children were cut, like so many beasts and then the woman was carried to a rip pling spring of cool water and tied just lar enough away that she could not reach it and was there allowed to die of thirst. His companion was beaten into niseii ibilitv on different occasions. On the 3rd of December 1015 I il:*- I inks gathered in great : *ce at Ambole, and to the surp> ise of the prisoners were engaged in battle by French and Fnglish who were marching for ward from the Suez canal under general Maude. Up to this time the prisoners did not know a war was in progress. Laurene said he ciimhed up where he could see out as the battle be gan. and thought the machine guns of the Allies were photographic instruments until they I began to belch forth smoke and Inc. and the lurks to fall in gient numbers. The prison was thought to be a fori and was hombaidcd, and entered by ...t. . ii .umiicu, wno lounci only j the r? 1 thinly clad, but overjoyed prisoners. Tlie\ were released and given an opportunity to help I ii^ lit their one time cruel masters. Kven the demented one grabbed u gun and fought des per such until the victory was complete. Lnurene was a Mason before bis capture and to add to his joy he found the general before whom he went wearing st Masonic emblem. Then vengeance was sworn against the men who had held him in i shivery. Next morning he had the privilege of identifying 5b of the bated Turks who were lined up and shot. Continued next week.)
