Botkin fears that the efforts might compromise those who are around the Mansion. He fears even those who are in exile. He fears everything. But not for himself. I think he is an honest man. There is nothing to do here with these scared people. Suspicious, having lost faith in each other, and jealous! I must try to approach them against their will, perhaps I can do something better than in Tumen.
How empty my house is! The Princess came out to me in the garden and asked me whether I could go to Tobolsk and deliver a letter to Mr. Botkin there. "Of course, I can, your Ladyship, if I have enough money." "I don't mean that," she answered coldly, looking with disgust at the manure I was mixing, "don't worry, we will pay you. I mean whether you could arrange with your Bolsheviki for a permit."
My language has become vulgar; my manners, also. I begin.... ... This morning Pashinsky repeated that the Em. will be taken to Ekaterinburg with the Empress and the Heir. The daughters will stay here for a while. "Believe me, we'll have a good time," he said, offensively breathing in my face. I stood near the gates of the fence when Dr. Botkin passed.
Next day, it was about four, Pashinsky, who sticks near me thinking I am his best friend and admirer, punched me with his elbow and said: "Look, look. Who is coming." The Emperor, stooping and walking with tottering steps, was passing from the garden into the house. Dr. Botkin was with him. The Emperor's hands were clasped behind him, his eyes were staring downwards.
Botkin is not in," he said, when I explained what I wanted, "Sit down, service-man. Take it" he gave me a cigarette with a gold crescent on it the kind they served at the Palace. I looked at the crescent and then at the man. In one glance he got I was not "service-man," but he did not show his discovery, only got up and continued talking. "The doctor is very busy right now.
Did you see how I treat him?" "Never saw him. Where in the hell could I?... As for you you certainly are some boy!" I was so near to the Emperor that for a moment I feared he could recognize me. But he did not, for he glanced twice at me and passed by. When they were on the stairs, Botkin said something to him, and the Emperor turned around, his eyes resting for a moment on my figure.
"Whether or not suspicion attached to Judge Botkin for his conduct in this matter, he himself seems to have feared revenge, for he held court with a Winchester at his hand and a brace of revolvers on the desk in front of him, his court-house always surrounded with an armed guard. He offended men in Seward county, and there was a plot made to kill him.
All started suddenly and just as quickly ended; the street became calm again. Botkin turned to me and continued: "Perhaps I was too hasty about this 'no answer. I should've said it otherwise. I think it is of no use to attempt to do anything, that's the idea. If any plan will be successful, it will not be this," he showed the letter, "though it is appreciated, trust me when I say it!
His doctor's degree in his pocket, he went to Tula, where he practised for several months, but soon the position of house-surgeon was offered to him in the Botkin Hospital in St. Petersburg. He remained there seven years, till 1901, when, by order of the Minister of the Interior, who has charge of all hospital appointments, he was forced to retire from office and was expelled from St.
Botkin gave Brennan into the custody of the sheriff of Morton county. He was removed from the county, and it need hardly be stated that when he was at last brought back for trial it was found impossible to empanel a jury, and he was set free. No one was ever punished for this cold-blooded murder. "Colonel S. N. Wood was an Ohio man, but moved to Kansas in the early Free Soil days.
