Alleged Confession.

There It is said, he confessed, and offered no further resistance while his captors prepared him an unusual death. While some mem- bere of the mob took school furni ture outside and piled it against the building, others chopped holes in the roof. Gunn was thereupon placed on the roof and made to lle. face downwards, across the top. A chain, passed through the holes and over his body, held him fast to the roof, over which petrol hastily drained from the tanks of

motor-cars was poured.

Obeying the quietly-spoken command of the mob lenders, several thousand persons withdrew to form a large circle while the petrol was ignited and the build- Ing buret into flame.

SOVIET PLOTS IN TURKEY.

TRADE AS MASK.

Constantinople, Jan. 13. The inquiry hero into the plot against the dictatorship of Mus- toplin Kemal is said to have brought to light a network of Communist propaganda carried on by persons attached to the Russian commercial delegation.

These agents, who puse as trade representatives and commerinl travellers, are said to be employed by the Soviet trade delegation for propaganda purposes.

They are able to work all the more freely because their associa- iton with the delegation gives them diplomatie immunity. Many young Turks are said to have boen recruited by the Red agents, who are paying such men substantial salarles.

It is reported that the Turkish Government will take diplomatic action at Moscow to obtain the cessation of these activities.

One of the Turkish papers a few days ago declare that the trade delegation at Stamboul was much more 'occupied with Communist propaganda than with commercial transactions, and called the atten- tlon of the Government to the danger.
