Ex- Comrades Call Abramowitch Liar.
MOSCOW, March 6.--During the
evening session of the fifth, and
after Gromans lengthy theoretical
dissertation regarding the industry
trade regulation and the Gosband,
Krylenko announced the following;
THE court announced yesterday
the receipt of Abramowitcf's cable
denying his visit to MOSCOW, which
the defendants repudiated .Abramo-
witch cannot be invited, His will
lingness to submit testimony here is
his business. The court needn't COM
municate with him, especially since
he voluntarily applied to the bour-
geois court to submit evidence.
WAS Abramowitch's 'vorwaert's'
statement an alibi?'
The latter is of no juridical inn
portance, said Krylenko, but he
wished to attach it as exhibit.
He said that the statements of the
second part contains a conlmunica-
ton from second person uncon-
nected with the trial confirming
Abremowitchs abb, saying that an
other Social Democrat saw him.
Hence the two statements; Abramo-
witch's affidavit claiming his pres
ence in summer resort in 1923, and
the second statement, on ehearsay Of
third person, that he really saw
him. -
The document was filed, Krylenko
wished the defendants counter state
nlents. Grornan said he had no adj
dition. Ha said that "the document
can't convince me OF not having seen
him, Unless my judgment has been
lost and that am insane. Who alive
could prove that I've not seen him?
1t is undeniable that I've. seen him
sher repeated his, former state
ment, saying that If that be called
a document its juridical Importance
