TERRORISTS ON TRIAL

United Press Association— By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received Dec 2, 10 a.m. London, Nov 28 The Daily Express’ Budapest correspondent states that the trial of Beiakuu’s Terrorists lias commenced. It will last several weeks as there are so many charges of murder and torture. Two Terrorists turned King s evidence, and detailed how comrades— Eserny, Schon and Groo—were sent on special missions of killing and torture. One witness gave evidence that he dug his own grave, and was sliot hy Eserny s orders, but the firing party did not trouble to throw in earth, and later he recovered consciousness and crawled away. Belakun once ordered Eserny to kill Pogany, a commissary of war. Eserny refused, and asked Why? Belakun replied airily. “Oh, he is not radical enough.”
