The Daily Dispatch: July 5, 1861., [Electronic resource], Horrible treatment of a missionary. (search)
Horrible treatment of a missionary. --At Sontay, the capital of the province of that name in China, a French missionary has been horribly tortured, and finally butchered, for preaching the Christian religion. He was kept in a cage for several months, heavily chained. At last his head was chopped off, and immediately the spectators, and even the executioner and his assistants, hurried round the body, and tearing the blood-stained garments into shreds, carried off the pieces as relics.
