A secret execution chamber of the Czarist secret police was discovered today by workers excavating the so-called Simons Passage in Warsaw, in the very heart of the Jewish quarter.

The workmen uncovered about 100 skeletons believed to be the remains of Jews executed by the Czarist secret police in Warsaw for revolutionary activities.
