"Flowers That
Bloom" Fail to
Free "Reds" Here
Judge, Emphasizing the
"Tra La" Turns Down
Irrelevant Questions

"The flowers that bloor, in the
spring, ira Ia, have nothing to do with
the case" Of Gabriel Prober and five
others who are on trial before Federal
Judge Henry D. Clayton for alleged
violation OF the espionage act Neither
have happenings to the Bolsl,evik gov
ernmcnt of Russia anything to do with
the defendants guilt or innocence in
distributing on the East Side leaflets
calling the United States "hypocrit"
for having joined with the Allies in in
tervoning in Russia.
When Henry Weinberger, attorney
Tor The defence, attempted at the trial
yesterday to introduce evidence that
the Bolsheviki were not pro- German
and that the Sisson documents, which
we're made public by the Committee on
Public Information to show that Lenine
and Trotzky had succumbed to German
money, were "forgeries," Judge Clay
ton wheeled around in his chair and
quoted the song from The Mikado, -
with emphasis on the "tra Ia"
Denies War with Russia
Mr. Wcinberger explained that his
purpose was to show that Congress
never had declared war on Russia, that
the President had ordered American
troops into Russia, that this was an
act of war and that therefore the de-
endants-Probcr, Jacob Abrams, Sam
uel Lipman, Hyman Rozansky, Hyman
Lachowsky and Molly Steimer-were
not guilty Of violating any law when
they criticised the action of the cov-
ernment.
Mr.. Weinberger put on the stand
Raymond Robins, former bead Of the
American Red Cross Commission to
Russia, and Albert R. Williams, de-
scribed as the Boishevik representative
in the United States. He proceeded to
read long list Of questions. Assistant
District Attorney John NJ. Ryan OBJ
jected to each question end was sus-
tanned.
Some Of the questions put to Mr.
Robins we're:
after the Allies broke with the
Soviet government weren't you asked to
act as the unofficial representative of
Ambassador Francis?
did you ever have in your posses.
sion some papers known as the Sisson
documents? Did you investigate them
and didn't you come to the conclusior
that they were false?
Was your reason in not communi.
eating these documents to the United
States because of a belief that they
were false?
Questions Relate to Forgery
"Did YOU not show these documents
to MI, ~sSisson and did he not agree
with you that they were forgeries
Did YOU see officials Of the Kerenskr
Cabinet in respect to some of these
documents, and did they admit to vow
that the documents were forged snd
uhreHaole IN general!"
Mr.. Williams was asked whetber he
was not present in Vladivostok when
1he American troops joined with the
Japanese to help the Czecho- SIovake
put down the BolsheMki, and whether
1t wasn't true that many Bolsheviki
were killed. Then he was asked:
Didn't they lay the cofins before the
Amerlcan Consulate and stretch out
the1r hands. and didn't their orators
step forward and say, 'On this, the day
OF celebration Of your independence
we appeal to you, America, in our fight

lean Consulate answer?"
