History says Russian Czar Nicholas IT, his wife and
#'their five children were slaughtered in Siberia by the.:?
holsheviki In 1918 to prevent their rescue by imperial
'supporters. History says the bodies of the Romanov dy-
nasty leader and his family were- wrapped in blankets,
carried from their basement execution chamber, placed
lx on the, ground, loaded on lorries, taken to an abandoned
mine pit and burned. However, Robert Speller, New York
publisher, reports he has investigated a claim that all
five of the czar's children (four girls and a boy) are
alive. The son and three daughters now are in the
United . States, he asserts, adding that legal steps will
ti be started soon to establish the truth of their claim. Mr.
Speller's report is in three parts. The Enquirer does not
vouch for its authenticity.
