Raphael Abramovitch, the Bundist leader and brother-in-law of Professor Rubin, who is mentioned in the act of indictment in the Moscow State trial, as having been in Soviet Russia in 1928, has sent to the Moscow Court a statement which he has sworn before a Commissioner of Oaths here, repeating the statement he has already made to the J.T.A, that he was not in Russia at the time mentioned.
I have not been in the Soviet Union since 1920, he declares in the statement, certainly not in the summer of 1928. From June 26th. to July 26th., 1918 I was at the Pension Wendenburg, in Plau, in Mecklenburg. From August 1st. till August 12th I was in Brussels, attending the Congress of the Socialist International.
The Secretary of the German League of Human Rights, Herr Kurt Grossmann, has added a statement in which he declares: I was at Plau from July 12th. till July 30th., 1928, and I saw Abramovitch there every day of my stay.
