He entered a plea of guilty when the session opened. The first wit- ness leciied s. detailed story that MacDonald had bribed him to act as a spy, and the young Briton confirmed almost all oi this testi- mony. V

The other Britons on trick-Allen Monkhcuse. Charter Nordwell, LG Thomton. A. W. Gregory and John Cushny-all pleaded not guilty. El- even Russian employees of the Metropolitan Vlckers Electrical company, ior. which all of the Brit- ons worked, pleaded guilty.

The iirst “witness produced by the prosecution was V. A. Gusey, director oi’ the Zlatoust Electrical station. Under questioning he de- clered he had supplied MacDonald with military and economic infor- mation concerning the Zlstoust plant and that, on MacDonald's instructions. he had actively sab- Oliiscd machinery in the electric station lnorder to diminish the ei- iectlveness oi operations in de- pendent military plants.
