SOVIET THIRD DEGREE WORSE THAN DEATH, : SAYS BROOKLYN MAN

(By Associated Press) REVAL, ESTHONIA, May 13 The worst phase of imprisonment in Moscow is not the possibility or probability of execution but the daily attempts made to wring confessions from the rrisoners, says Dr. Morris Zucker, a Brooklyn Communist, who arrived here this month after having served four months in the Russian jails. Some of his experiences and observations have previously been made public. Zucker sentenced in New York in 1919 to 60. years imprisonment for sedition but was deported instead. Speaking of the life of the prisonrrs in the principal political prison at Moscow, which is called the "0. O. V. he said, "the daily third degree to which prisoners are subjected if they are suspected of a serious political crime is worse, than execution. These prisoners are taken every day, if their captors think there is a chance of wringing a confession from them, into the questioning room. There whether they have anything to confess or not, they are commanded to 'reveal the truth."

Death is Threatened. "The commissar puts a revolver to' the prisoner's head 'confess, or I'll shoot,' he says. The prisoner waits for the shot. He never knows -whether it is coming or not. "This process is often repeated until the prisoner will confess rather than undergo any further ordeals, in which case ho is shot anyway." The mental condition of these prisoners becomes such that they would prefer death," said Dr. Zucker. The Brooklyn Communist Fays that he met in the various prisons of Moscow 20 of the radicals deported from America and that he could well understand why the Bolsheviki arrested them, for they were chiefly anarchists who did not believe in any government "particularly in a government so distatoriaJ as that maintained by the Bolsheviki." Zucker Bald he found in prison also the president of the Turkestan Soviet republic, Mohammed Hadjiz, General Alex Gertor, once commander of the Russian South Western front, eitcht members of the executive committee of the right wing of the Social Revolutionist Party, three members of the executive committer of the left wing of that party, including Mayorieff, who was Commissar of Agriculture in 191S and also a former minister of cclesiastical affairs, Samaun. Zucker described the summoning of prisoners for execution in much the fame way as did Schwartz, the San Francisco Communist, who came out of Russia, some months ago. He added that executions were going on as late hs March 27, and declared there had leen no diminution of the " red tenor" in Russia.
