Hanged (as a special degradation), in Moscow, after a four-day Soviet show trial highlighted by fantastic confessions of murder, pillage and espionage (most of it true): Ataman Grigori Semenov, 56, last of the Soviet Government's great civil war enemies. Semenov, who since 1918 has harassed Bolsheviks in Siberia, Mongolia and Manchuria, was captured when the Russians overran Manchuria last fall...
