a former member of the outlawed
parliament in which he was promi
nent leader of the Constitutional Demo-
Gratis, is confirmed 1t turns out that
he was assassinated at his country
home near Terioki, Finland, by men in

tion NJ Herzenstein was walking
along the seashore with his wife and
daughter when several shots were fired
at him from an unoccupied building.
NJ Herzenstein was hit twice and fell
dead. His daughter was wounded in
the hand. The murderers escaped. A
remarkable fact Is that three hours
prior to the murder telephone mes
sage was received at a newspaper office
from Moscow asking for news of NJ.
Herzenstein and saying that 1t was re-

assassinated.
NJ Herzenstein was of Jewish descent
and very wealthy. His attacks on the
Minister of Finance in the lower house
of Parliament attracted widespread at
tention. He supported the Constitu-
tional Democratic scheme for land ex-
preparation. His family had renounced
the Jewish faith and became orthodox
Russians several generations ago. He
occupied a prominent place in Moscow
