TROTSKY SLAYER
AS STALIN AGENT
Chicago, Auf. 23. Al
bert Goldman, American attor
ney for Leon Trotsky, asserted
here that the assailant of the ex
iled bolshevik leader had ad
mitted acting as an agent of the
Soviet Russian secret police.
"I talked by telephone with
the Trotsky guards shortly after
the attack," Goldman said in an
interview last night on arriving
from New York by plane. They
told me that Vandendreischd ad
mitted he had been ordered by
the Ogpu to kill Trotsky or for
feit the life of his mother in
Russia."
Goldman learned of Trotsky's
death on his arrival. He later
boarded a plane for Mexico City
where he hoped to question the
assailant, Jacques Vandendrei
schd, also known as "Frank
Jackson."
"Vandendreischd," Goldman
said, "was a casual acquaintance
of Trotsky who had gained the
confidence of the household
through hli marriage to Sylvia
Ageloff of Brooklyn. Her sister,
Ruth, once served as Trotsky's
aecretary. Vandendreischd mar
ried Sylvia under orders from
the Ogpu to get close to
Trotsky."
(Samuel Ageloff, father of Syl
via and Ruth, denied in New
York reports that the latter had
been a Trotsky secretary and
aid he did not know "Frank
Jackson."
Goldman said that Trotsky's
slaying might dispel the mystery
surrounding the attempt on
Trotsky's life at his Mexico City
home last May.
"At the time no one could
understand how the gunmen got
into the home or how they knew
the layout of the house," he
added.

not be issued to the owner;
however. If the owner is qual
