ALLEGED SPY GANG.
TRIAL AT MOSCOW. The London Daily Telegraph’s Moscow correspondent says; “It is alleged that a gang of German spies has been broken up by a secret trial by the Supreme Military Court, at which Kurt Fuclis, a German engineer, and Ivotgasser, an Austrian mechanic, were sentenced to eight years’ and six years’ imprisonment, respectively. Borcliikovsky, a Russian engineer, was ordered to be shot, and three other Russians were sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment each. “Borchikovsky, who was described as the principal agent, was found to bo a traitor to the Fatherland. A member of the O.G.P.TJ., I am informed, denounced Fuchs, asserting that Fuchs asked him to mark on a map of Leningrad the positions of the electricity stations and other air-raid targets. Borchikovsky was asked, I am informed, to mark the sites of aerodromes and munition factories. M. Ulrich, who sentenced the British Metropolitan-Vickers engineers in April, 1933, presided at the trial.”
