RUSSIAN SECRET POLICE
SERVICE FUNDS ABSTRACTED. ST. PETERSBURG, April 12. The report of the inquiry into the assassination of the late M. Stolypin (the Prime Minister) has been submitted to the Czar. It contains a damning indictment against General Kurloff and Colonels Spridovitch, Kubliako, and Verigin, the leaders of the secret police. Many thousands of secret service funds were _misappropriated, and with this General Kurloff is charged. The investigations reveal that the assassin Bogroff joined the secret police while a member of the Revolutionary Circle, and sold the circle's secrets. The report does not specifically charge the leaders with complicity in the murder, but their relations with Bogroff were sinister.
