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?

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.
