Accused Communists
Prove Torture
(WireLess bu Inprecorrl

BUDAPEST, July 10.--In the
trial of arrested Communists, de.
tailed evidence of terrible fortunes
ar introduced by the defendants
Tho speech of indictment which fol
lowed consists of vicious attack Of
the Soviet Union and the Communist
Party, declaring that the Commu
nists are seeking to destroy God.
fatherland, family, love and all Gull
tural values of humanity. The pros
ecutor demanded that the court must
punish heavily because previous eff
forts Of the police to destroy Com
lnunism were unsuccessful. He de-
MED that there were tortures, quot
ing police evidence for support.
The defense protested against
anti-Soviet utterances of the pros
ecutor, proved the fact of torture,
and showed clearly that the indict-
ment was baseless, and demanded
acquittal. The second defender de.
sc4ibed how the police tried to ter
rorize and intimidate the defense
lawyers.
