MOSCOW. March 12.-Abiect pleas
for mercy were made today by the q
political prisoners arrayed in the Soviet
Unions latest blood purge" of Its
confessed enemies.
One by one they stood up in the
dock and reiterated admissions OF
guilt, blaming others in part for theil
dire predicament
Prosecutor Andrei Y. ViShinsky in 6
clustering summation of treason anC
murder charges, has demanded death
for 19 of the 81.
Avowing piteous repentance for theil
acts, they asked that their lives bt
spared.
N. N. Krestinsky, once the first as.
sistant foreign commissar, in his plea
for leniency pointed to his 20 years as
an honest revolutionary"
He recounted how in 1901, at the
age of l8, he had given his honest
efforts in behalf of the Communist
cause. He said his record was clear
until 1921, when he intrigued with
Leon Trotzky. He blamed Trotzky for
everything.
Vladimir I. Ivanoff, former chief of
the Soviet timber industry, turned
on another prisoner, Nikolai Buhharin
trying to blame his confessed treason
on the eX-editor of the government
newspaper Izvestia.
why does Bukharin refuse to tell
the truth?" Ivanoff said. Throughout
the revolution he was against it, and
still is against it, trying to keep intact
all the remaining enemies of the Soviet
regime"
Alexis I. Rykoff, who for nearly 10
years was premier of the Soviet Union,
seemed on the verge of collapse. He
has been painted as second only to
Bukharin as leader of the alleged con-
splracy to overthrow the regime.
With lips trembling and voice barely
audible he denied any guilt in connec-
ton with the death of the writer
Maxim Gorky and others. but admitted
he prepared the soil in which such
crimes could grow"
