|BOLSHEV|KS KILL
 OMSK PRISONERS
Members of Constituent As-' sembly Taken From Jail
 and Executed
By Associated Press


 Vladivostok, Friday, January H.-OI the prisoners who were released from jail at Omsk as the result of an abortive bolsheviki plot late in December nine of these who voluntarily returned were killed by the military without the know ledge of Admiral Kolcaak, the supreme governor of the Omsk government, or or his ministers, according to information that has just come to light.
 The motive of the executions IS oo- scure but the inclusion among the nins victims of several important members or the constituent assembly, prominent jour nalists and public leaders points, in the minds of many, to the use of bolsheVlh methods of intimidation and suppresslon of the idea of constituent assembly.
 When the jail was opened on the nlsh. of December P the political prisoners d. first refused, to leave their cells, anu it is said they were threatened Wltn being shot if they persisted. Tney "eIo told, it is reported, that the aulhoIi.' of Omsk had been seized by the boisne- wiki.
 The following day when 1t became clear that the plot had failed the government issued a proclamation urging those Who had been released to return 10 prisoi' under pain of courtmartial. The mllitals authorities and the minister of Justlce appealed to the relatives of the men re leased. advising their immediate return and the fugitives were brought to prison by their wives, relatives and acquaih' ances. Ala o'clock in the morning of DecenlpeI 24 an automobile stopped at the Jali dhu took away nine of the prisoners. All oA these have since completely disappeare,u. When the facts became known to ,ne council of ministers the supreme Tuie,' Admiral Kolchak, sent special oetaoh- ment of soldiers to guard the prison.
