Alexander W. Soulgikoff, former White Russian army officer, ### was actively associated with anti-Semitic activities in his native country and in Canada, was lured to his death today by three men in a typical gangster slaying. The motives for the crime are not known.
Soulgikoff was known to have been actively associated with the newspaper Novoye Vremya, which in the days of the Czar was the bitterest anti-Semitic paper in Russia and the organ of the Black Hundred pogrom bands. He claimed to have been governor of Odessa at one time. He served as an officer in the White Guard army of General Baron Peter Wrangel.
Of late years Soulgikoff was employed here as a court interpreter. He became notorious in Jewish circles here for his anti-Semitic activities, which included supplying the violently anti-Jewish-French language weekly, Le Patriot, with records of court cases involving Jews.
