Conradi assassinated Torovsky and wounded two of his companions al Lausanne early in May, 1923. He Immediately surrendered to the po- lice justifying his act as one of vengeance for the murder of rela- tives by the Bolsheyiks in Russia.
 The assassination created q stir in Moscow, but nothing to compare with the feeling which followed Con- radi's acquittal after a trial in civil court in November 1923. The Soviet government pronounced a formal boycott against Swiss citizens, de ciaring: "Wo shall have no trade or dealings with the Swiss, and neither shall they come here nor our people go to Switzerland" For eign Minister Tchitcherin was qout- cd as referring to Switzerland as "a land of murderors.

SOVIETS STILL RECALL 23 KILLING
Decline to Attend Conference on
 Swiss Soil

Geneva Dee. 24 tP,-Soyet Rus. >ia's reported refusal to attend any disarmament conference held on Swiss soil has brought about n dramatic political situation in swItz- erland,
 The whole matter goes back 10 the assassination by Maurice Conradi. Swiss engineer, Of Naslav Norovsky. Soviet envoy to the Lausanne confer cnce. in May. 1928. and Conradis subsequent trial and acquittal.
 Easing it's attitude on the conv!c- ton that 1t was serious mistake to allow the Conradi case to develop into q trial and condemnation of Eolshnyism, the state council of Geneva has addressed a letter to the federal council al Bcrne asking re- consideration Of the Swiss relations with Russia.
 Fear Is expressed that Russian hostility 10 Switzerland as a result Of the Norovsky incident and the Sow iet's repeated declarations that it will attend no conferences on Swiss soil may eventually force the League of Nations 10 move 10 some city outside this country.
