Lieutenant General Stoessel was fa- mous as the commander of the Rus- sian troops at Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese war. After he had held out there for months against the | furious onslaughts of the Japanese, Stoessel, his ammunition all but ex- hausted, and his men virtually with- out food, surrendered the fortress to General Nogi. Condemned to Death, For this action he was condemned to death on February 20, 1908, by a courtmartial. This sentence, however, was commuted by Emperor Nicholas to ten years’ imprisonment. He was released from confinement from the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul the following vear by order of Emperor | Nicholas, The trial of Stoessel was a dramatic | one tnroughout. General Smirnoff, who was acting-commander of the | fortress, categorically accused Stoes- | sel of cowardice and incapacity and | of deliberate treason in hastening the surrender in order to save his own life. Other officers gave similar tes- timony, but General Kuropatkin, the Russian commander-in-chief, was one of his staunch supporters. Slowness Aided Russians, Kuropatkin testified that the Jap- could have taken Port Arthur hy assault in the early days of the war, and that their slowness alone —«l\(\ the Russians time to improve defense works so that the posi- | tmn could be heid for several months. { General Nogi and other high Jap- anese officers offered to appear be- fore tine courtmartial and testify in behalf of General Stoessel, but their offer was declined.

In summing up for General Stoes- sel at the courtmartial, M.
