FOURTH DAY OF TRIAL
SOVIET PLOTTING MINING ENGINEER. Accused Claims To Have Been Forced By Germans. Press Association—Copyright. Received 11.30 a.m. Moscow, January 26. At the fourth day of the trial, Stroiloff, former Kusbass mining chief, gave evidence that he became tangled up with German intelligence officers while visiting Berlin. They gave him the choice of a German or a Soviet prison, and in view of this he agreed to agitate in favour of a German machine in the industry to help impede the production of coal. Documentary evidence was produced to support Stroiloff’s story. He was the first foreign patriotic German to participate in wrecking plant so as to necessitate purchases from Germany. The German Fascist engineer, Slesser, reprimanded him for not doing some sabotage.
