 DEATH IN RUSSIA
(Continued from First Page)

for the Russian revolution. He was responsible for the advance of the Russian army in July, 1917. After the Bolshevik revolution he assumed leadership of the anti-Bolshevils forces and organized the Yaroslavl rising which ended in demolition of the town with considerable blood shed. as well as numerous risings in Siberia and Ukrainia. He raised an army to defend the constituent as- sembly in Samara and directed &C., tivities against the Bolsheviki from Poland. All of this Savinoff &C., knowledged. Speaking with emo- tion he said to the court:
 Not Afraid to Die.
 T know your decision before hand. don't value my life and am not afraid to die. recognize all my quilts, but they were all involun- tary, as never sought anything for myself"
 His enmity for the reds was based on four objections, he said, namely the breaking up of the constituent assembly,; the Brest-Litovsk treaty, which was at that time detrimental to the allied cause; his certainty that the reds assumed the power for a short perior, making way for re-es- tablishment of the monarchy, and last that the Russian people were against the reds.
 Reds Were Right.
 He was now convinced, Savinoff asserted, that the reds were right in regard to his last presumption and that he was wrong-in regard to the support of the Russian people of the Soviet regime. It was not in Mos- COW, under escort that he had changed his mind but long ago in Paris he came to the conclusion that the Bolseviks were right and now he stood unconditionally in favor of the Russian Soviets.
 Savinoff asked the court to remem- Der, in delivering sentence, that he had never been an enemy of the people, that he had spent his life as a revolutionary and that he had had HIS HeCR III IH9 HOOSE nun0red times. He did not return to Russia with bombs and he had thrown his revolver away on the other side of l the border.
 The general was arrested August 20 after passing the border under | the name of Stepanoff, but appar- ently he had been watched by Rus sian agents abroad. His arrest was kept secret and his trial was begun secretly.
 It was first alleged that the for mer military governor had come to Russia to organize terrorist acts. Comissar Kursky and other authori- ties, however, repudiated this yer sion and it is understood that many communists have been impressed with Savinoff's sincerity turing the trial of the case.
