FUNERAL OF KIROV
BODY TAKEN TO MOSCOW. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Moscow, December 4. Kirov’s body was conveyed to Moscow with great ceremony. A guard of honour including M. Stalin, M. Voroshiloff and M. Molotoff carried the coffin from the Uritsky Palace and deposited it on a gun carriage. A hundred thousand Leningrad workers accompanied it to the railway station. The entire route was lined with troops, and as the coffin was placed on the train the sirens at all the factories and steamers hooted for five minutes in pairs. NEW OGPU LEADER. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 11.35 p.m.) London, December 5. The Riga correspondent of The Times says that Agranoff, the cruellest member of the Ogpu since the earliest days of the Red terror, replaces Medved. The Soviet has issued a decree whereby alleged anti-Soviet terrorists will be deprived of defending counsel and will be unable to appeal against the sentences. They must be immediately executed.
