HANGED AT FOLSOM
The Russian Kovalev Paid
the Death Penalty.
HIS CRIME AN ATROCIOUS ONE
Xbe Murder of the Webera at Sacra
mento JLast Year Thought He
Would be Pardoned.
Folsom, Cal., Feb. 21. Ivan Kovalev,
the Russian ex-convict who escaped
from the island of Saghalein three years
ago, today paid the penalty for hia parti
cipation in one of the most atrocioua
crimes in the. criminal annals of Califor
nia. A little over one year ago, in Sacra
mento, Kovalev and another escaped
convict named Mathlea Stcherbakav
murdered F. H. L. Weber, an aged
merchant, and his wife. The murderers
broke into the residence of the old cou
ple, who lived over the grocery store,
and literally hacked them to pieces with
a hatchet. The assassins were bare
footed, and after wading in the gore of
their victims they ransacked the house,
their movements being traced by their
bloody footprints. Kovalev was finally
arrested in San Francisco, and when he
was taken into custody he had on a suit
of clothes belonging to the murdered
merchant.
Stcherbakov was stabbed to death
while attempting to rob a man in San
Jose.
Kovalev during hia trial made a par
tial confession, in which he said he saw
the Webers killed, but would not admit
he had a hand in it. He laid it upon
his partner. Kovalev has maintained,
ever since his escape from the Russian
penal colony, that he had been sent
there for a political offense.
Russians who have conversed with
him, however, said he was not a man of
sufficient intelligence to be mixed up in
an affair of state. He was a shoemaker
by trade and a man of very ordinary in
telligence. He did not possess the col
lege education which had been attri
buted to him. The other day he admit
ted to one of the prison officers that he
had been sent to the Saghalien islands
for life for poisoning a man in Russia.
The Russian interpreter sent to the pen
itentiary for the purpose of spending the
night with the condemned man endeav
ored to get him to tell something more
about the murder of the Webers, but
Kovalev positively refused to do so. He
was urged to give the address of his
mother in Russia so that she might learn
of his fate, and pray for him, but he
absolutely refused to do so.
Another attempt was made to inter?
view him this morning, but all he would
say was that he wanted to be left alone.
He refused to eat a tempting breakfast
which was set before him, and declined
a glass of whisky, and would take noth
ing but a cup of milk.
It was the general opinion that Kova
lev had an idea he would not hang. He
would not permit a prison minister to
offer any religious consolation. He said
he had some doubts about the existence
of God and expressed the opinion that
when a man died that would be the last
of him.
Kovalev was practic ally a dead man
when he stepped upon, the gallows. The
life had almost been frightened out of
him. He was so weak and trembling
that he could scarcely walk on the gal
lows. But there was no painful wait.
He was launched into eternity in less
than a minute after he came from his
all. . - -
THE ASKPIOLIN TREATMENT.
The Discoverer Overwhelmed With Cor
- reftpondence-
Nkw Yokk, Feb. 21. Dr. Cyrus Edson
informs the Associated Press that he is
overwhelmed with correspondence Bince

about his solution of aseptolin, eo much

work he is unable to reply to many of
the letters received. He desires, through
the Associated Press, to express his
thanks for the kindly congratulations
received and says :
"The aseptolin treatment can be ad
ministered by a physician only, and,
second, it cannot be carried on by corre'
spondence. The treatment i9 very sim
pie and can be admiristered bv any phy
sician as well as by me. Under no cir
cumstances- whatever will I allow the
aseptolin to be sent to any patient. ' It
will be sent to his physician only and
must be administered by that physican
"I decline absolutely to give the pa
tient of any other physician advice
about his case. I will gladly correspond
with any physician about his cases. I
will see no private patient outside of
my own practice except as a consult
ant with his physician. Any patient
wishing to see me must bring a letter
from his physician asking'me to eee him.
The final result of my examination I
will hand to that physician and will not
communicate it to the patient.
"I wish to impress on those suffering
the fact that their own physicians, wto
know their condition, are infinitely bet
ter judges of the treatment needed than
I can be. Their own physicians have
studied their case; they know the con
ditions existing; they are the only ones
who can say whether aseptolin will
help.
"I am willing to eend a 2-ounce bot
tle of aseptolin to any physician in the
United States so that be mav be con
vinced, by the improvement of hia pa
tients, of its value. I wish to repeat
that this ia not a specific for consump
tion, although it is for malaria and sep
ticaerua. It is folly to expect any re
sult from it when the patient has been
given up. The treatment with it is
merely what I called it, a rational treat
ment, because it follows the line indi
cated by nature. It haa done and will
do good in many cases, but it is not a
remedy which will restore lungs which
have been destroyed. -
"I would suggest to surgeons having
patienta with bad hygienic surroundings
and who fear eeptic results that the
aseptolin has been exceedingly success
ful in cases of septic poisoning." -.
