The General's Daughter, the Czar's Lieutenant and the Linen Closet

Good evening. This is crime classics. I am Thomas Highland with another true story of crime Listen that was a man lying down on a wooden slab Chain his right leg and chain his left leg Chain his right arm his left Shackle his neck Now a friend of the recumbent man walks over to where the whip is hung it takes it and comes back

It's thongs are four feet long attached to an iron ring attached to another thong two feet long These last thongs being dipped in milk and dried in the Sun to harden them Now the whipper gestures to his lieutenant that he is ready and the lieutenant gives a command what a Which command eventually got the lieutenant in big trouble?

Tonight and my report to you on the general's daughter that's ours lieutenant and the linen closet A Russian tragedy. Crime classics. A series of true crime stories taken from the records and newspapers of every land from every time.

Your host each week, Mr. Thomas Highland, connoisseur of crime, student of violence, and teller of murders. Now once again, Mr. Thomas Highland. Catherine the Great had just died, and the Great Bells of St. Petersburg told their requiem, Gold again the ascension to the throne of Paul I.

Paul, as you know, was a trial to the Russian people, and what with him and the awful stretches of the steps, many songs were written about death and broken hearts and treachery in the home.

Ludka, first condemned as an opiate of the people, came into its own during Paul's reign. Two Russian troops had taken their first defeats in the Alps, and returning to St. Petersburg, a tolled of giants, eight feet tall.
