The woman went on cracking nuts and\nlaughing.\n. . . He ran beside the mare, ran in front of her, saw her being\nwhipped across the eyes, right in the eyes! He was crying, he\nfelt choking, his tears were streaming. One of the men gave him\na cut with the whip across the face, he did not feel it. Wringing\nhis hands and screaming, he rushed up to the grey-headed old\nman with the grey beard, who was shaking his head in dis-\napproval. One woman seized him by the hand and would have\ntaken him away, but he tore himself from her and ran back to\nthe mare. She was almost at the last gasp, but began kicking\n/)nce more.\n\"I'll teach you to kick,\" Mikolka shouted ferociously. He\nthrew down the whip, bent forward and picked up from the\nbottom of the cart a long, thick shaft, he took hold of one end\nwith both hands and with an effort brandished it over the mare.\n\"He'll crush her,\" was shouted round him. \"He'll kill her!\"\n\"It's my property,\" shouted Mikolka and brought the shaft\ndown with a swinging blow. There was a sound of a heavy thiid.\n\"Thrash her, thrash her! Why have you stopped?\" shoutedvoices in the crowd.\nAnd Mikolka swung the shaft a second time and it fell a sec-\nond time on the spine of the luckless mare. She sank back on her\nhaunches, but lurched forward and tugged forward with all her\nforce, tugged first on one side and then on the other, trying to\nmove the cart. But the six whips were attacking her in all\ndirections, and the shaft was raised again and fell upon her a\nthird time, then a fourth, with heavy measured blows. Mikolka\nwas in a fury that he could not kill her at one blow.\n\"She's a tough one,\" was shouted in the crowd.\n\"She'll fall in a minute, mates, there will soon be an end of\nher,\" said an admiring spectator in the crowd.\n\"Fetch an axe to her! Finish her off,\" shouted a third.\n\"I'll show you! Stand 6ff,\" Mikolka screamed frantically;\nhe threw down the shaft, stooped down in the cart and picked\nup an iron crowbar. \"Look out,\" he shouted, and with all his\nmight he dealt a stunning blow at the poor mare. The blow fell;\nthe mare staggered, sank back, tried to pull, but the bar fell","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-20T15:28:39.385Z","text_extracted_by":"pdf-processor","text_has_content":true,"text_source":"born_digital","uploaded":true},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KFCZZ05FKVDDMJJV3YE9Q4WH","peer_label":"crimepunishment00dostiala.pdf","peer_type":"file","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KESYJX0Z6XE0HWTS5N3SDG0B","peer_label":"The Classics","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-20T15:28:42.088Z","ts":"2026-01-20T15:28:43.257Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFCZWTBNJH4WFMS8354919KY"}}
