Trotsky Still Declares His Innocence
OGPU DECLARATIONS IMPOSSIBLE, HE SAYS. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Tuesday, 11.50 p.m. NEW YORK, Feb. 16. The New York Times publishes a lengthy front page article by Trotsky offering proof that he was far from Paris in July, 1933, where he was stated to be when Vladimir Romm, exWashington correspondent of the Moscow Izvestia, testified that he met Trotsky in a park and delivered five letters from Karl Radek, Soviet journalist. “French police records show numerous prominent persons visited me and will testify that I was ill in bed at Royan on the Atlantic coast at that time,” Trotsky stated. “The same obvious impossibilities mark all attempts of the Ogpu to connect me with any of its victims and purported confessions.”
