"WRECKING GROUPS"
ANOTHER MOSCOW TRIAL
MOSCOW, January 20.
A great State trial of M. Karl Radek, a member of the editorial panel of the "Izvestla," M. Grigori Sokolnikov, a member '' of the Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, and fifteen other old Bolsheviks and associates of M. Lenin, opens on Saturday. They are accused of organising wrecking groups and plotting to kill Soviet leaders at M. Trotsky's orders.
A special police investigation also claims to have disclosed that the accused were engaged in espionage on behalf of foreign Powers with a view to smashing the military power of Russia and dismembering her territory.
The death sentence appears to be certain.
