CHIEF LINKED
To BRIBERY

MOSCOW, April IA UN.S0.
The word "liar" was uttered time
and again today as British and
Russian defendants in the Metro

for their liberty in a crowded
courtroom.
The flare-up Of emotions oc-
Cured after evidence was intro

Monkhouse flatly denied the
charge.

ploitation department Of the

His hair shaved close in the

nose, Lobanov stood before the
microphone and laconically as

tematically wrecked the plant at
the instigation of Charles Nord-

defendants.
In exchange, he sad. Nordwell
gave him a fur coat and paid him
5000 rubles. He gave some of
the money to his assistants. who
included V. P. Lebedev. who cor
roborated the testimony.
Called to tEc stand, Nordwall
unblushingly called Lobanov a
liar.
Summoned for rebuttal testi-
mony, the Russian passed the lie
back to him.
Denies Such Dealings
Under vigorous examination,
Nordwall, speaking in clear, stac-
cato Russian, repeatedly reiter-
ated his complete denial he ever
had any such dealings with
Lobanov or anyone else. Audrey
Vyshinsky, the prosecutor, tried
with all the force at his COM
mand to break down these
denials but failed.
The trial has reached the point
where the russian defendants
are falling over one another to
incriminate themselves and in
volve the Britons along with
them.

Monkhouse and Thornton, the
prosecutors strove energetically to
