SOMEONE MUST DIE
DONETZ TRIAL GOES ON (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) Tunes Cable. LONDON, Sunday. The Riga correspondent of “The Times” reports that the first stage of the trial at Donetz of the men accused of sabotage and anti-Soviet agitation in the coal mining area, has concluded. It consisted of the evidence and the cross-examination of the accused. The remainder of the trial was held in camera. The proceedings so far have produced no convincing evidence of a plot, but merely of mismanagement. Nevertheless, opinion in Moscow is that after such a stir somebody must die. A German mechanic, Maier, like many of the Russians, denied the truth of the statement signed by him before the trial. He alleged that his questioners reduced him to exhaustion, by subjecting him sometimes to uninterrupted interrogation for six or seven hours, after which he did not know what he signed.
