SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE ANTICIPATED IN NEW MOSCOW PURGE TRIAL
Moscow, To-day.
Sensations exceeding even those customary in Soviet trials are expected to feature the forthcom- ing court proceedings against the imposing list of alleged Trotskyists and Menshevists.
The charges with which accused are faced, place all former trials completely in the shade, and Moscow is awaiting the confessions (which it is ex- pected the twenty-one defendants will make) with more than usual interest.
Most of the accused have been under arrest for several months, and it is generally assumed that there has been sufficient time for gathering of telling evidence again- st them. Sensational revelations are expected.
FOREIGN STATES Well-informed quarters indi- cate that several foreign ~ states will be mentioned by name as be ing implicated in alleged treasonable plots against the Soviet.
It is hinted that the twenty-one accused are not the entire list, and that there will be another trial later.
+
The newspapers, commenting on the trial, point out that the new purge in the high army command-- the fourth within a few months has now reached practically all high military functionaries of the Tuchachevsky era.
+
Of five Marshals, two have been eliminated, of five army comman- ders of the first class, no fewer than four and the only existing commissar of the first class, have likewise been "liquidated," as well as both admirals of the fleet.
PUBLIC TRIAL
com- In addition, of ten army missárs of the second class, eight have been eliminated, of two ad- mirals, one has gone, and of fifteen army commanders of the second class, fourteen have been “Liquidat- ed.
Numerous rumours perist of the sensational revelations which the trial is expected to bring forth.
It is fairly certain that the pro- ceedings will be public, and that
will be admitted.-Trans-Ocean.
