It is alleged the Russian, Sergoi Drujilowski, who has been arrested, has confessed that a British Secret Service agent in Bulgaria, in collaboration with the Russian refugees, fabricated the Zinovieff letter, for which fBO was paid. The charges against him include the authorship of the Zinovieff letter, and also that of trafficking in documents with Bulgaria, Germany and the United States. He has been in prison since last year. A special Court will try him in August. It is claimed that he warned Bulgaria of the Communist plot shortly before St Nedelia Cathedral, in Sofia, was blown up. The Soviet version of the British espionage, states that prisoners in the pay of Britain assisted the Monarchists and devoted special attention to Russia’s war preparations, and secured much naval and military Information. It is just a question whether accused given a trial, or summarily executed. LONDON, July 10.
