Tho Execution of Pra Preccah—A Nas tive Nobjeman Beheaded for Marry- ing 2 British OMecr’s Daughter. Coarreapondence New York Time, BANGKOK, Slum, Feb, %.—Tho exceutlon of Pra Preecah, the aistinguished and ones tnfluential Siamese nobleman, and the causes leading thereto, are still much talked of here and at Stngapore,—Indeed throughout the whole region of the British settlements In tho far East. Hisbeheading would probably have excited very little attention had he not heen the son-in-law of Thomas George Knox, Inte British Political Agent and Consul-Gen- eral for Stam, and had notall the circum. stances been so extraordinary, even in this strange, despotic country. Whether he was justly or unjustly punished is a matter of opinion, Some of the forcignersin Siam and. Malacea think he deserved death; but many more, including those who belleve him to have been guilty, teclare that he would not have been exceuted but for adverse iniluences at Court and someting nkin to persunal persecu- Yon. Thata nobleman of his gradeand antece- dents should have been brought to the block is regarded by a few os evidence of the ad- vance of clyilization here. ‘Yon yours since, any ian of wealth and position Would, they say, have got out of any criminal complica tlon by bribing the Judges and high) dlr nitarles of State. But Pra Preecah, onl- though formerly beloved by the King and de- fended by powerful friends, was not allowed to escape. ‘That such an execution ds very rare 1s proyed by the commotion it has eaused, Nothing. so startling hus happened here inn quarter of a centity, Yor ean only understand its effect by Imigining Jolin Sher- ian,Secretary of the’lreasury, to besuddenly arrested, carried off mysteriously to Rleh- mond or Petersburg, Va,, and as inysterious- ly hanged. You may say that you do not lang ith ofiicers In the United States, Nelther do they behead high ofticers In Sinm, The instance of Pra Preeeah ean hardly be paralleled here, at least In this generation, tis next to finposstbic to ret ut the exact facts In this sensational ease, and the extrenio difficulty of arriving at the trnth tnereases its Interest. It has two sides, and the recital of both is necessary to anything tke an un- derstanding According to one version, Pra Preeeah,: lilsnged father, and, two younger brothers, are asserted tu have formed a Ring, notuniike the ‘Tammany Ring, to swindle the Government. ‘They are reputed to havo acquired millions of dollars by systematic rascallty, having robbed the King of nearly: all the yletd of his gol mine at Kabin for three years, making hlm believe that it had been unproductive, while they were enrlch- ing themselves with {ts precious metals, ‘The father and younger son are still In frons, awaiting trial, and if found guilty will be. sentenced for a long term of years to hard la- bor in the Royal rice mills, or perhaps be put to death. ‘The father would not Hye tong in continement, for he is quite old and much broken. All the property of the family, com- prising their fine estates on the Meinani itiver, opposit the Forelgn Minister’s palace, has been confisented; thelr horses, carringes, houses, plate, Jewelry, steamers, everything they owned, estimated to be worth nt lenst $0,- 000 to $7,000,000, ins been selzed, and will veyed to the Crown, so that tlle King is y to be relinbursed for what Pra Preceat has been accused of stealing from the gold mine, ‘The other version varies materially from this; is altogether more probable, and gen- erally accepted. ‘hero are, ts you probably know, two Kings in this country, a First King, the absolute monarch, and n Second King, who succeeds to thé throne If the First should die before him. Should the Second King dic, his place renining vacant until the end of the First King’s reign. The Sennboui, or Supreme Council, then fills the throne by vote, and the newly-vlected First King ap- points the Second Aine usually his” full brothor,or his son bya Royal mother. ‘The late Second pine, dled before ils elder full brother, the late First King, at whose death (1803) the Sennbodt met ta choose his suc- eessor. Chow Phya Suryawon Minister of War, was the most influential: member of this important body, and by his advice the first crown was bestowed on Prince Chitla- longkoon, eldest son by a Royal smother of its late wenrer, and the second crown on Prince George Washington (he took the name on account of his admiration for the “Futhor of hls country”), olso eldest son of its late ATeAYCE, ‘Thus: ae Sennbout hauimed, or, properly, usurped, 4 function hitherto exer- ‘cised by the First King. Chiwalongkoon being a minor, Chow Phya was chosen, or, rather, choso himself, Regent, and lost no time in strengthenlng his already powerful family. ie vacated his post of Minister of War fn favor of his son, appointed his half- brother Forelgn Minister, dismissing for the purpose the venerable and capable Prince who lind: long and falthtully filled tho office, and guve the Jucrative and important positions In the realin elther to his Kinsmen or to thoso attached to him through laterest- ed motives, As Chulnlongkoon was desirous to travel during his minority, he was clously per- initted by ie Regent to vislt Atalucen and Java in 1870, and India in. 1871-72, Thomas George Knox, then, Consul-General, naccom- panted the young King to India? as adviser, and tt 1g Yuterred that some of the advice lven was not grateful, Atleast, from the Une of the First King’s return home the re- Jations between him and the Consul haye not been amicable, and when Knox wont to En- gland, some four years ago, the King sent an antograph etter ty Lord Derby, then Foreign Secretary, begging that tha Consul should not be aflowed to come back, | ‘Tho ietter not belng transmitted, as diplomatic etiquet de- manded, through the Sinmese Consul in Lon- don, Derby pald no attention to it. Chulatongkoon’s minority having ended In September, 1873, he was, by Slamese custom, recrowned, winid general rejolelug; the city and suburbs were filuminated In honor of the event for three — successive nights; addresses of congratulation were presented by all the represen- tatives of tho treaty Powers, and it was be- Heved thata new ern of Nberalisin and prog- ress Was dining on this peculiar and des- potic land, European attire was partially adopted; the first King Issued an order agalnst grovelingon hands and feet, as had been the thne-lonored custom of Interl- ors before superiors; Introduced important miendments to the iws bearing on shevery, and a Privy Council and Counell’ of State wero Jnatituted as advisers to his Majesty. But the belief that had been cherished was rudely dispelled. Chitlalangkoon’s desire for reforms and advancements proved de- Jusive. Within a year after his nuority lind been renehed the Minister of Aurleulture wasarrested on weharge of embezzlement, tried, and condemned. The whole of hla Vuat propurty—he was probably the richest of all tho natives—was contiseated to the Crown; hls wives and children were mado slaves; he hingelf was deprived of his rank and barbarously flogged, Ile would have buen exceuted, or hnprisoned for life, but for tho intercession of the ex-Regent, who was rently lauded nt tho tine for interest fry hluiself In behalf of the fulton officer, Pie fact that the Second King had not been chosen by the First King, but by the Senna- bod, naturally prevented the Inttor from re garding the former very favorably, In truth, Chudatongkoon had long nursed an animos- ity toward him, and soon found a pretext for showing ft. te pretended that George Washington was meditatiog rebellion, and sitmmoned hiin toandicnee,” But the Second King, knowlng tn what Ught he was held by, his nominal associate, and fearing that he night bo sneriticed, Ned to the Brltish Con- sulate for protection, Instead of obeying tho Royal mandate, Knox was then absent from his post, but Newman, w friend of George Washlngtdn, was in femporayy charge, and reecived the fugitive kindly, ‘ho First King: thereupon called the Pr Counell to ether, pnd they unanimously decided that the Sec: ond King, by ulsobedlence to the ‘order of the First, and by putting himself under the protection of the foreign power, lind for- Telted hls crown. They recommonded, also, that tho second crown should either be abol- ished or bestowed upon a worthier Princo, Chulalongkoon had not tha nerve to do this, conscious that the majority of his sub- cots would consider It an uct of the grosscst prea ys In hits dilemma he sought counsel of 8 ux-Regent, whe, being on the best of terms with the Drltish ‘onsul, as well ag with George Washington, recommended him to write to the distrusttul Prince to returi plodilny hinself notto harm him, | ‘Tho Firs ing followed the counsel; but the Second, King was stlll skeptical, expressing his de termination to remuin at the British Consul- ate until the arrival, soon expected, of the Governor of the Straits Settlements, who would, no doubt, harinonize the differences between the two monurchs. When the Goy- eynor arrived he adjusted the matter amen ge = be i by and Chulalongkoon renewed his pledge, whieh, under the cireumstances, he was not likely to break. Consequently, George Wash. ington went back to his palace, haying gained agalpabie triumph. Jonsitl Knox returned hither in April, 1875, having been promoted ta the rank of Politi: ent Agent; but the old hostility on the part of the First King continued. ‘The Second King, hiowever, and himself remained very frlomlly, whielt wast new grievance to the Tteyal mind, and the relations between the Consul and the ex-Regent were also very pleasant. As Chulatonrkoon very soon be. enue Httle efse than a puppet in the hands of the ex-Regent, Knox gained such lufluence that he was focularly mentioned as the First Alng of Stam, and his friendship was eagerly songht by many pronitnent nob! Amon them Pra Preeea Acting Governor 0) Pachin and Superintendent of the Govern- inent Gold Mine at Kabin, Last March Pra Preeenh and Miss Fannte Knox were married here by the natlye rites, and fumediately quitted ‘the Capital for Paechtn., When'the bridegrvom returned, a jew weeks nfterward, he was at once arrested and put inivens, having evidently offended Chiualongkoon most deeply by espousing his enemy's daughter, The excuse, however, for his arrest w mathe had wedded Knox's danger without her father’s consent, and for thishe was flogged and thrown Into a filthy dungeon, ‘The Consul was very indig- nant,—~any father-in-law would have been,— especially ns he had reason to belleve that the First King had heen much Iniluenced py the ex-Regeut, who hated Pra Preecalion ae count of his wealth and Infiten He de- nied that the marriage had tuken place with- out his consent, demanded the release of his son-in-law, and an apology from the Govern- ment for dragging his nue Inte the proceed ings and for reflecting on his daughter, The Government expressed regretat haying given Knox any cause of offense, which had been unwittlng, as it said, and withdrew all ace! sations nzainst Pra Preeeatt on the ground of marrving Slss Knox, But It resolutely deelined to release him,as he had been cullty, ib asserted, of embezzlement, oppres- sion, murder, and Heaven knows what not, ‘The Consul then nerecived that Pra Pree cal: was doomed unless he could extract him from is overwhelming dificultics, Ie played the usual card of a British oficer, Ho threatened: to order up the natlonal gun- boats and bombard Bangkok. Chululeng- koon, contrary to all expectation, refused to be frightened, Then the Consul sought 9 private interviews dechired In, the Royal presence that he (the King) was undermin- ng his own power by his course; that he was. merely a tool in the hands of the ex-Regent and liis family, who were using him to de- stroy Pra Preecah and his Kinsmen simply through mallee; that the accused noblaman was, and had been, long devoted to his Ma- jestyes Interest; Usat membersof the Regent’s amily could commit, and had, in faet, com- mitted, erime after erhne with impunity. What he said was true, but the King so hated Knox. that he was pitiless to his son-in-law. Knox exhorted, pleaded, menaced Invain. A few days after, Phya Bhashakarawongse, half-brother of the ex-Regent, wasdispatehed to England to beg that the British Govern- ment would not interfero'with Slamese Jur- isttiction In the ense of Pra Preeeah, and that Knox should be removed. ‘The special Aim- Dassador returned from London In due tine, tho Consul lost his place, and Pra Preeeah fost his head, mainly, no doubt, because he had dared to'murry the daughter of a man to whom the King was infiea), ‘The Slamese Government should be judged in this tragic affair by Its antecedents and general spirit, withont regard to the ideas entertained by modern. civilization, But even so judged, the punishment of Pra Pree- enh and his family has been barbarous, and of late unprecedented here, The Siamese may clahn that the nobleman confessed to stealing gold from his master, and his. rela- tives toa knowledge of his peculations, Si- amese confession and denial have about the sane significance. The King's subjects fre- quently confess to crimes” that they are wholly Innocent of, because they know that they will becruelly wronged until they do confess, Pra Preecali’s trint is admitted by all intelligent persons to have been a com- plete faree, since he was not allowed to cross- tiestion witnesses whe acctme him. of mur- der, nor was he permitted to refer to his books when called upon to account for sums drawi by him as expenses for the gold mine, The general impression among Englishmen and Americans here Is that Chulalongkoon isn weak, cruel, cowardly despot, who has lost most of his influence and cannot much longer retain his power. Mrs, Pra Preeenh-(formerty Fannie Knox) is renorted safo in England with her own children and the-children of her Inte hus- band by a Tormer murringe, and with about $120,000 worth of (property, which sho car- ried off to England _so soon as sho find been made a widow. She fs half native,—her insther was a Stamese,—but in shrewdness and regard for the main chances sha seems to be essentially Engtish. ‘The story has been elrenlated here that tho Inte British Consul Is soon to be made Sir Thomas George Knox, whether as reparation for his consular re- moval is not mentioned, This entire history is surely very strange ands very horriblein all Anglo-Saxon eyes. it is generally "be- eved, moreover, that the exeention of Pra Preeenh will yet have most momentous re- sults to Chulalongkoon, First King of Slam. ‘These leayes from tho private chronicles of an Oriental despotism would read like a roaring burlesque of sober fact and common justice ff thoy were not sprinkled with peat and drawn from scenes of shudderlng horror,, rr; WARTMAN Ho Is Intorviewed by a French Corres spondent—Authentic Details of iis Lites Ymprisoument in France. he London correspondent of the Paris Voltatre sends the particulars of 8 conversa- tion hehas had with tho’ now celebrated Hartinann, and we extract the following pass sieges: Koporter—What fs your real nama?
