A case with a strong political flavour, reeking with melodrama and possibly with grave results for the participants, commenced In the International Mixed Court, Shanghal, on March 15, before the British Assessor, Mr. Whita- more and Magistrate Shao, when six Russians appeared upon, a charge which may perhaps be regarded as the first of its kind in which Russians have appeared since Soviet Russia renounced her extraterritorial rights in China and her citizens became subject to the jurisdiction of the Mixed Court. Much of the story con- nected with charges preferred against the accused is at present wrapped in doubt..
Various charges were brought against the six arrested men.
