Brooklyn Communist Tells of Tor
ture in Russian Prisons to
Force Confessions"
MEETS DEPORTEES IN JAIL
Found Twenty Men Shipped Out Of
the United States in Various Pris-
ons in Moscow-Many Promi-
nent Men Also Prisoners

Reval. Esthonia.-The worst phase
of Imprisonment IN Moscow is not the
possibility or probability of execution,
but the daily attempts made to wiring
confessions from the prisoners, says
DR.. Morris Fucker, a Brooklyn COM
munist. who arrived here recently af-
ter having served four months In the
Russian jails.
Fucker was sentenced in New York
In 1919 TO 60 years Imprisonment for
sedition, but was deported instead.
Speaking of the life of the prisoners
In the principal political prison at Mos
said, "the daily third degree to which
prisoners are subjected If they are sus-
pected of a serious political crime is
worse than execution.
Torture Repeated Daily.
These prisoners are taken every
day, If their captors think there is a
chance of wrlnging a confession from
them, into the questioning room
There, whether they have anything to
confess or not. they are commanded to
reveal the truth
The commissar puts a revolver to
the prisoners head. Confess. or I'll
shoot he commands. The prisoner
waits for the shot. He never knows
whether it is coming or not.
This process is often repeated un-
I'll the prisoner will confess rather
than undergo any further ordeals, In
which case he Is shot anyway"
Meets peported Radicals in Jail.
The mental condition of these prison
ers becomes such that they would pre-
fer death, said Doctor Fucker. The
Brooklyn communist says that he met
in the various prisons of Moscow 20 of
the radicals deported from America and
that he could well understand. why the
Bolsheviki arrested them, for they were
chiefly anarchists who did not believe
In any government, particularly in q
government so dictatorial as that
maintained by the Bolsheviki."
Fucker said he found in prison also

republic, Mohammed Hadjiz; Gen
