THE NIHILIST TRIALS
In Russia - Full Statements Made by
several of the Aeeused-FOrster's
Administration of the
Coercion Act Attack ed in the Commons
I'm the House of LOrds-Brftish
Press Comments.

ST. PETERSBURG, February 25.-During
Thursdays proceedings at the trial of nihil-
lists, several persons made very full state
ments, and in consequence of their admis-
sions many witnesses were excused from fur
Their attendance. 1t appears that Trigoni had
only very slight connection with the pro-
ceedings of the nihiists, being merely aware
of their designs. Suchanow, during his ex-
animation, drew such vivid picture of the
abnormal social conditions that had driven
him, an honorable, sensitive man to a career
of crime, that even the judges were affected.
Jakimova acknowledged the truth OF the
charges brought against her. Jenecka, who
is uneducated, admitted being a terrorist,
but was unable to define the aims of that
party. Merkuloff continued his endeavors
to eliminating associates. All declared
that they were socialists, willing to carry
on peaceful propaganda, but they have
been driven to illegal acts by the govern
ment's cruelties. 1t is believed that judg-
ment will be delivered Monday, and that if
teen OF the prisoners will be condemned to
death.
