Account in du Croo’s Generaal Swart (1943)
From W. Muurling
In May 1911 the Kedjoerön Petiambang and fourteen prominent chiefs visited, under Muurling’s leadership, the jaarmarkttentoonstelling at Koeta Radja; the administration was temporarily conducted by lieutenant Snell, who while acting brought in eight more uitgewekenen and four muzzle-loaders. During that visit Rödjö Tjoet Pasér with his panglimas and the blah-heads of Pasér and Reröbö solemnly begged the Governor’s forgiveness.
From C. A. Snell
Snell served with Van Eck under captain Muurling when the 1st Division of marechaussée was sent to the Gajò Loeös after setbacks of the infantry garrison, and “soon restored order.” In May 1911, while Muurling accompanied the Kedjoerön Petiambang and fourteen chiefs to the fair exhibition at Koeta Radja, Snell temporarily conducted the administration — “and he, while acting, brought in eight more men from the resistance and four muzzle-loaders.”
From Koeta Radja
In 1910 a Normaalcursus for the training of village schoolteachers was founded at Koeta Radja, which brought the necessary improvement in the quality of volksonderwijs. In 1915 Swart laid the first stone of the building of the Javasche Bank. In 1911 the jaarmarkttentoonstelling (annual fair exhibition) at Koeta Radja was visited under Muurling’s leadership by the Kedjoerön Petiambang and fourteen prominent chiefs of the Gajò Loeös, during which Rödjö Tjoet Pasér with his panglimas and the blah-heads of Pasér and Reröbö solemnly begged the Governor’s forgiveness. In December 1916 a meeting of progressive young oelèëbalangs and Acehnese officials was held at Koeta Radja in Swart’s presence, out of which the Sarekat Atjeh arose.
