.COUNTERFEITERS IN
TO DESTROY
SOVIET M @ N E Y
COumterfeiter in Berlin Trial Says
Notes Were to Finance RevOlu-
ton in Georgia. Refuse to Name
Backers.

Berlin, Jan. 28.-Two natives
of Soviet Georgia and five Ger
mans were arraigned in the Ber-
lin Criminal Court recently, charg-
ed with counterfeiting Russian
bank notes of 1, 2 5 and 10 ruble
denominations. 1t was not this
charge, however, that crowded the
court room as the political inter
est underlying the trial. 1t is
suggested that the counterfeiting
was only part of a conspiracy to
bring about the downfall of the
Russian Government, in which
two internationally well known oil
magnates and several German and
Russian Generals are said to be
involved.
The defendants are Basilius Sa-
dathienawile, Schalva Karunidze,
DIR. Weber, Wilhelm Schmidt,
Bohle and Henry Bell.
Notes Origin Traced
! In 1927 it was brought to the
notice of German authorities that
many counterfeit ruble notes were
in circulation among Russians in
Berlin. The origin of those notes
was traced by the police to Mu-
mich and Frankfort. In both cities
secret establishments for printing
notes were discovered, and coun-
terfeit notes representing 12,0O0,-
900 marks were seized.
Karunidze, who was in charge
of the establishments, and Ger
mans who were suspected of hav-
ing aided him, were arrested
Most of the latter belong to poll
tical parties of the extreme Right
and during today's proceedings
were exonerated by Karunidze
from any selfish motives. They
have, he said, merely aided hin
out of sympathy for his fight fol
