Poland's tribute to America. The Russian gallows, six Polish patriots at one time were suspended from the gallows in the old citadel at Warsaw during the regime of the Russians who for years held the country. Three thousand, in all, paid the penalty of death on the gallows for attempting to free their country. The gallows, now surrounded by a fence, are preserved by the Poles as relic of the days of thralldom
