RUSSIANS ON TRIAL MOSCOW. Juno 11. (UP) Eight of the highest officers in the Red army faced trial for their lives as traitors today before a solemn tribunal of their peers. It was announced that all had con- | feased to complicity in a treason and espionage plot in behalf of a foreign state, as part of which they supplied information and engaged in sabbotage. Their motive, it was charged, was to weaken the army in preparation for a foreign attack on Russia which was to culminate in a restoration of capitalism. They were tried under a special law by which no plea for mercy, no desire by high officials to exercise clemency is of avail. Convictior would mean that they must face 1 firing squad in a prison courtyan within 24 hours. The official newspaper Pravdi ;aid that the espionage was in behalf of a “Fascist” country which had been active in sending spies to Russia. Numerous Germans have been barged with espionage. So secret was the trial that not oven its seat was disclosed. It was merely announced that the tria 1 would start this morning. Expectation was that the hearing would be short and that a communique late today would tell the doom of the defendants.
