M. STOLYPIN'S DEATH
CHARGE AGAINST OFFICERS TSAR'S DECISION \ PROCEEDINGS ABANDONED, By Telegraph.— Preai Association.— Copyright. (Received January 22, 10.20 a.m.) ST. PETERSBURG, 21st January. The Tsar has declined to confirm the Council of Empire's recommendation to prosecute General Kurloff and Colonels Spiridovitch, Verigin, .and Kubliako, recently committed for trial on a charge of negligence said to have been responsible for the death of M. Stolypin, the Prime Minister, who was shot on 15th September last year. The proceedings have therefore been abandoned. [The report of the enquiry into the death of M. Stolypin wag submitted to the Tsar in April last. It contained a damning indictment against General Kurloff, and Colonels Spiridoviteb, Kubliako, and Verigin, leaders of the secret police. Many thousands of the Secret Service Fund had been misappropriated, in connection with which Kurloff was charged. The investigations revealed that Bogroff, the lawyer who shot M. Stolypin, joined the secret police while a member of the revolutionary circle, and sold the circle's Becrets. The report did not specifically charge the leaders with complicity in the murder, but their relations with Bogroff were sinister.]
