“Levin, who is a bright and intelligent young Russian, nearly twenty years old, of Jewish parentage, states that about three years ago, while at the home of his parents in Russia, Vladimir, commonly known as Basil Sokolowsky, persuaded the lad to accompany him to California, holding out the promise that he would have him educated for the priesthood. There were twenty boys in the party who came with the bishop at the time. The Russian Government allowed the Bishop 800 rubles for each boy whom he brought with him to defray the cost of the trip and expenses incident to their education. Young Levin alleges that he has received no education whatever, but that he was employed by the Bishop as a servant for two years, at the end of which time the Bishop sent him to Killisno, Alaska, there to promulgate the Greek-Catholic faith among the natives, promising to send him money for expenses. But the money never came, and the youth, after waiting patiently for almost a year and being almost on the brink of starvation, managed to return to this city and laid his complaint before the Bishop, who, however, refused to receive the young man, refused to compensate him for his two years’ services, his outlay while in Alaska and expelled him from the church.”
