RUSSIAN COBBLER
CHARGES IN HOLLYWOOD
(Received November 19, 10.50 a.m.)
HOLLYWOOD, Npvember 18. The immigration authorities are geeking to return an .obscure cobbler to Russia, where he would ppgsibly be shot. The authorities say he was a White Russian general commanding an. armoured train which machine-gunned American soldiers in Liberia in 1920. Nicholas Bpgomoletz, ex-Tsarist officer and major-general in the anti^ Bolshevik forces, came to the United States in 1923, obtaining citizenship in 1929. He earned a meagre livelihood from cobbling in a tiny shop on Holly* wood Boulevard. ' Moral turpitude charges were recently filed against Bogomoletz, arising from his relationships with an Amerir can nurse while he was still married to a Russian woman. Bogomoletz's attorney justified his actions on the j ground that he met the nurse under disordered wartime conditions and "sex appeal prevailed," but the resultant investigation disclosed a more serious charge.
