Missionaries in touch with the situation as it was at the time of the killing of the three ladies are inclined to consider the theory.too improbable to be true.

Killed For Revenge. But responsible investigators on the spot have expressed the belief that the ladies were killed deliberately and in revenge for anti-Communist activities of Mr. Lauri Ingman, the late Miss Ing- man's brother, who is one of the leaders of the anti-Soviet move- ment in Finland to-day. Proof of this theory is impossible to obtain, but a review of the facts of the murders appears to provide at least prima facie evidence in its favour.
