Astoria Hotel

Part One - Captain Thompson's Room in the Hotel Astoria

The bullet marks speak for themselves. The mobs stood outside and fired into the windows. Some of them took possession of a building across the street and fired into the fourth and fifth story windows. There were no foreigners killed, although some of them were wounded. Some Russian officers who unwisely exposed themselves at the windows were shot and their bodies dragged out by the crowd.
