LONDON, Oct. There is good reason to
believe that the government has decided
to release under certain conditions, a
number of the men now serving life SEN
fences in British prisons for completely in

proved that many of these men, probably
che majority, were victims Of proyocateurs.
This discovery, coupled with the fact that
no blood was shed by them. and that they
have already endured the heavy punish
ment OF years in convict prisons. has in
duced the government to recommend to
the crown to give merciful reconsideration
