strunsky, who were arrested and
taken to Jail Sunday night because
OF their association with members Of
the Finnish progressive party, were
released Monday evening. The police
found nothing among tie papers OF

No conditions are attached to the re-
lease, but Mr.. and Mrs. Walling and
Miss Strunsky intend to leave st.

they have practically finished their
work in Russia. All their papers and

they say was ordered upon the report
OF an over-zealous spy.

Monday evening they mad not suffered
especial discomfort during their ar
rest. They told amusing tales Of the
laxness Of Russian prison discipline.
Mr.. Walling was assigned to a sep
arate cell In the detention prison.
Nominally he was not permitted TO
communicate with anybody, but he
found no difficulty In getting q letter
out to tine American embassy, max
ing use of the underground posta'
service maintained by the prisoners
who we're aided in this practice by
several subventioned officials.
The efforts undertaken by the
American embassy had much to do
with fastening the release Of the pris
oners. The prosecuting authorities in
st. Petersburg have so many cases on
their hands nowadays that as rule
suspects are confined from two weeks
to three months before they are
examined.
