Stockholm, Aug. 26. (I. N. S.)
How Dagmar Oysser. a beautiful 16-year-old,
girl lured M. Ardasjeff, a
Russian patriot, to his doom and
then stood calmly watching him In
the, anguish of hia death throes
she smoked cigarettes, was
ghlovft at the opening of. the
trial of the' ring leaders of the "Rus
sian murder league," which opened
in this city.

Swedish lawyer with important political
connections. Is directing the defense. It
was through his efforts the postpone
ment was secured.
A number of the prisoners are women.
One of them, Mme. Rankonen. -calmly
admitted that she struck Ardasjeff with
a poker. T
While Ardasjeff was - lying helpless
from the blow, Mme. Rankonen- soaked
a rag: with chloroform to make death
certain. This defendant did not look the
part of a murderess. . She was quietly
dressed and unassuming in appearance.
The usual Swedish custom of trying
prisoners In prison garb was not carried
out in the present trial. The only ar
ticles of prison dress the prisoners were
compelled to , don were coarse, heavy
slippers. One of the captives wore the
uniform of an army colonel.
Most of the prisoners admitted com
plicity in the murders with the excep
tlonof one, Lehr by name, who sought
to Interest the United States legation, in
his behalf. Lehr claims to be an Amer
ican citizen. The women were used
mainly as decoyto lure the victims.
