SEQUEL IN THE COURTS
(Received 7th January, noon.)' ■'•3\ LONDON, 6th January.
The "Daily News" correspondent in Berlin says that the most' sensational political trial since the war will open in Berlin on 6th January. Those implicated allegedly forged Russian Tchervonetz notes equivalent to £1 with the object of ruining the Soviet currency. '
International petroleum magnates lighting the Soviet for possession of the Baku oilfields financed a counter-revo-lutionary movement in Georgia, to which the leading Bavarian politicians also, it is believed, contributed. Neither the industrialists nor the politicians were aware of the extensive forgeries simultaneously carried out in Munich in order to add to the Georgian funds. The Georgian patriot Karumidze is the chief accused.
