Copy of Arabian Nights
Served As Secret Code Is
Testimony of Prisoner
'Before Soviet Tribunal
By Charles P. Nutter

MOSCOW. Au. 21 .The atory of
how a copy of the Arabian Nights was
UMd as a recent code between Rua
ala'a amazing a ntl -Stalin conspirators
gave a fantastic touch today to the
trial of 16 confessed plotters.
A bewildered, discomforted prisoner,
Edward Solomonovlch, solemnly re
counted how he acted as liaison mm
between T. Smirnoff, head of th Mos
cow Trotzkyltes and Sydeoff, Leon
Trotzky'a son In Berlin, with & copy
of the book the most important piece
of his baggage.
Report Delivered
"Smirnoff gave me a copy of the
Arabian Nights," the witness related.
"which. In some way which I do not
remember, served as & secret code.
"Upon meeting Syedoff In Berlin J
handed him Smirnoff's report on eco
nomlc and political affairs of the U.
5. S. R. and the Arabian Nights code."
Leon Trotzky, the celebrated exile,
has been aociwed by both the govern
ment and the defendants as the mas
ter of the plot, embracing not one
but many attempts upon the life of
dictator Joseph Stalin.
Previous evidence had brought out
that the counter-revolutlonlsta used
secret compartments of trunks, Invls
Ible ink and other subterfuges in or
der' to exchange Information.
Terror Required
Holzman, a reluctant witness, told
of a meeting with Trotzky In Copen
hagen at which he quoted the exile
as saying: -
"The only way to remove Stalin Is!
through terror. '
For a time during the examination
of Holzman, M years old, bald and
perspiring, the courtroom took on the
appearance of a b'g happy family.
The Trotzky undercover man, with
contradictory answers to the prose
cutor's questions, drew frequent
smiles and laughter from the specta
tors, the prosecutor, the Judges, and
even Holzman himself.
At one point Holzman said:
"Trotzky told me If Stalin was de
stroyed we would return to power.
Witnesses corroborated charges that
there were at least three definite at
tempts to kill Stalin. The latest, wit
nesses asserted, was planned as a
spectaculer assassination In Moscow's
red square during the May day dem
onstrations. Bomb Plan Told
Bombs labeled "diploma" were to
be delivered to Stalin as he stood
atop the tomb of Nikolai Lcnln, It
was testified. .
Denial by Trotzky from his Nor
way haven that he participated In
the asserted plot to overthrow the
government brought amtles from sov
iet officials who remarked:
"Trotzky always denies everything.
How Is he to refute the weight of
this evidence?"
While the 16 prisoners occupied a
box enclosed by a low wooden rail
ing, with stalwart red guards stand
ing by, it was plain that the absent
Trotzky actually ,wos the man on
trial.
