Show RUSSIAN DELEGATE SH0TBY SWISS OPINION MAY HOLD PATRIOTIC ASSOCIATIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSASSINATION Conradl Asserts He Murdred Head Of Soviet Group to Avenge Atrocities of Bolshevik Bolshe-vik Terror Lausanne. The murder of M. Yor-ovsky, Yor-ovsky, head of the Russian soviet delegation to the Near East conference, confer-ence, by Maurice Alexander Conradi, a Swiss who once served in the Russian Rus-sian army, has stirred Switzerland as has no Blngle event since toe assassination assas-sination of Empress Elizabeth of Austria at Geneva In 1S9S. Conradi, who was seized by the police In Hotel Cecil after he had killed Vorosky and wounded two attaches at-taches of the Russian delegation, continues con-tinues to maintain that he acted alone In an effort to avenge his father and uncte for the mistreatment they received re-ceived at the hands of the bolshevik during the "red terror." The general Impression In Near East conference circles is that the excitement caused by Thursday evening's eve-ning's events will not directly affect the outcome of the negotiations. Yor. ovsky was not regarded as an official Russian delegate. Switzerland keenly feels the position posi-tion In which Conrad's act places her, and fears that world opinion may hold local patriotic associations materially ma-terially respoasible, inasmuch as the Swiss Facisl organization recently or dered Vorosky to leave the country or take the consequences. The lm-mediate lm-mediate Implication in the latter alternative, al-ternative, spokesmen of the Fascistl assert, meant nothing more serious than that Vorosky would be doused with castor oil and run out of the country ns a penalty for his attacks on the Swiss government for its refusal re-fusal to grant a visa to a soviet courier cour-ier to Lausanne. |
