questions regarding her arrest and
subsequent events. He then led
the witness back to the night she
and Gubitchev were arrested.
| @. And when you got of the
Ninth avenue bus at Fourteenth
street and Ninth avenue. did you
walk over to Eighth avenue?
A. We did.
@. Did you at that time know
that you were under surveillance?
A. had no idea.
@. Did you know he was under
surveillance?
A. No; but he thought some one
was following him.
@. What did Gubitchev tell you
before yea got on that train with
regard to any one following you?
A. He told me two things. one
on February Is, and then the be-
ginning of March 4. When !
met him on Broadway he told me
that he thought his wife had hired
a detective, or more than one de-
tective to follow him. I told you
about that.
@. know about it. You tell
the jury. They do not know any,
thing about it. They are more i'm
portant than ever will be. Go
ahead.
A. Then, when I argued with
him about this ridiculous idea of
not sitting together in the bus
and not sitting together in the
train, you know, going across
town, he said to me at that point,
well. I am not sure, it may be
the NKVD." }as
Most Petrifying Idea.
@. What does NKVD mean?
A. I think 1t means Russian
Secret Police.
@. When he told you 1t might
be the secret Russian police in
this country that was following
him, what did you say to him?
A. I said, This is too much"
It was the most petrifying idea.j
because, first of all. this idea OF
being followed by his wife's de-
tectives, did not know what rea-
son she would have. except to use
me in some divorce suit. If that
is what she was trying to do,
That was bad enough. This idea
of secret police-I was an Ameri-
can citizen working for the Gov
ernment. I said. This is the most
horrible thing in the world. What
are they going to do, kill us?"
As the days testimony drew to-
ward a close. Miss Coplon then
made the allegation that Mr.. Foley
had ordered her to make sum-
mary of the secret information
which was found in her purse
when she was arrested.
@. Who told you to make it?
A. Mr.. Foley told me to make
the note.
@. How many times did Mr..
Foley come back?
A. He came back twice. First
he gave 1t to me and he pointed
to this part about "Needleman."
and he told me to read 1t. He
told me to make a note Of 1t and
give 1t to Mr.. Lenvin. Then he
came back and, said. did you
make a note Of it," and said.
Yes" He said. Let me see it."
And I handed it to him and he
read over the note.
Take Note Along.
@. After he told you to make a
note, you then prepared exhibit
No. lit and then he read the
note. Mr.. Foley read the note?
What did he say then?
A. He said. II would like for
you to work on this over the week
end" I said. You know I am
going to New York;"
He said. II want you to take this
note to New York with you and
think about the matter"
@. Did you ask him whether he
wanted you to stay over the week
end?
A. I asked him If he wanted me
to postpone my trip.
@. What did he say?
A. He said no.
@. Did he know what time you
were leaving?
A. He knew I was leaving on
the / o'clock train.
@. When you made this note
and read 1t. what did he tell you
to do then?
A. He said. 81 want you to take
it with YOU"
