MOSCOW, APRIL 12.
SENSATIONAL AND DAMAGING EVIDENCE was given at the trial of the six Englishmen accused of belonging to counter-revolutionary organisations and of engaging in espionage, sabotage and of bribery.
The accused Englishmen are Alan Monkhouse, Charles Thornton, William MacDonald, John Cushny, Charles Nordwall and A. W. Gregory,
The trial is being held in the Hall of Trade Unions and some 400 people were present. It was noticeable' that the slogans ent- blazoned on cotton streamers which usually adorn Soviet courts were absent.
The Englishmen and the twelve Russians accused with them all sat together, the two Englishmen on whom the prosecution sets the greatest store, Messrs. MacDonald and Thornton, being mar- shalled as far as possible from their four companions, Messrs. Monkhouse, Cushny, Gregory and Nordwall who occupied the back
