FATE OF FORMER RED LEADER United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—-Copyright (Received August 23, 7.30 p.m.) MOSCOW, .August 22. Moscow officially announces the suicide at his country home at Bolsheva, of Mikhail Tomsky, head of the State publishing house. He was accused of complicity with the treason prisoners, as the result of the Communist Party being informed that he concealed from it, his counter-revolu-tionary negotiations with Kamenev in 1929. Tomsky, who was originally a Social Democrat, was twice arrested, after which he was exiled, until the Bolshevik revolution. He was refused admission to Britain in 1926, after attending the Trades Union Congress in 1925. He was excluded from the Communist party in 1928, but was pardoned in 1929.
