Man Is Tried for Thirty-three Murders
VAS KOMAROV, a Russian, was recently tried in Moscow for murdering thirty-three persons, and, because of the wide public interest in the unusual case, the trial was held in the large Polytechnic Museum instead of a court room. Before his trial, Komarov said he hoped the court would speedily condemn him to be shot, and added that he found "murder an awfully easy thing." He said that the only victim who ever resisted him was a man who had tried to cheat him in a horse trade. The others were knocked on the head with a hammer or strangled.
