DIR. Tikhon, released from prison to
await trial by the civil authorities
Tor counter revolutionary activities.
denies reports that he was tortured
while in Jail, asserting that. on the

Tho former natriarch OF Ii Russia,

frocking him, pointing out that it
tried him for political misdemeanors,
while only the soviet government
had a right to do so.
NJ. Krassnitsky, head of the Living
Church Council, is quoted by the
official press as saying that if DIR.
I1khon is willing to repent of his
alleged counter-revolution actiNi-
ties before the council and the gov

that if the prelate "repents only be-

10 take up his ecclesiastic duties,
then it is clear that his confession
was false and insincere."
