Further revelations in the trial of Stanislaw Steiger, accused of throwing the bomb at the Polish President, Wojciechowski, were made today by another Ruthenian, Mikittin.
Pantschischin, who is reported to be the principal figure in the Ruthenian bomb plot, has a long record of Ruthenian nationalistic activities, according to evidence found by the authorities. He was a member of the Petrograd socialist terroristic school and was at one time entrusted with the mission to kill Petlura, the leader of the Ukrainian movement.
It is the general opinion here that Steiger will in all probability be released shortly.
