Soviet's Latest Treason Hunt
Alleged Confessions of Conspirators “THIS WRIGGLING, HYPOCRITICAL TREACHEROUS REPTILE” United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Friday, 9.50 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 22. The Daily Telegraph’s Moscow correspondent learns that Radek, Bokolnikoff, Piatakoff and others have all been led to confess the crimes imputed to them which are regarded as even more vile than those for which Zinovieff and his colleagues were shot. The trial will be held in the hall in which the MctroYickers engineers were tried and Zinovieff was sentenced. Judge Ulrich will again preside and M. Vishiusky will again prosecute. j Attempts will bo made to prove that the accused even in the early days of the Revolution were engaged in plotting against Lenin. At least six are alleged to have signed the manifesto in October, 1923, supporting Trotsky against Stalin when Lenin’s brain was already fading to death. The case will be brought up to date with charges of plotting to rcrfTore capitalism and organising catastrophes, in at least one instance under an order from Germany. Izvestia describes its former chief leader-writer, Radek, as “This wriggling, hypocritical, treacherous reptile; this poisonous Trotskyist snalce hiding his fangs behind his ingratiating smile.”
