recently sued for libel because he declared
that she was a participant in the murder
of the boy Yushinsky was acquitted.
The editor also charged that the woman
had assisted In preparing the crime and
that she concealed the body and re-
moved evidences OF 1t.
Twenty-Five lawyers who were on trial
at St Petersburg on a charge OF insult
