Crowd Uncontrollable

Then the trucks moved forward, and the crowd—mostly residents of {the vicinity—became uncontrollable, surging through the cordon to surround the dangling bodies of their one-time oppressors. The three Nazis and Bulanov were convicted -at midnight Saturday. The colirtroom, crowded with 1000 residents, burst into applause when Myasnikov read the sentence, bringing to a close one of the most dramatic trials in recent times. Prosecuting officer, Col. N. K. Dunayev, previously had emphasized that the trial was conducted strictly in accordance with the Moscow pledge signed by Russia, Britain and the United States early in November that war criminals would be returned to the scenes of their crimes and tired according to local law. The three apparently under the illusion that by cone fessing they would escape the death sentence, maintained their composure until they were called upon to speak their last words to the court. Then they broke down and begged for mercy.
