Iy agreed to exchange for two Poles under sentence of death in Soviet Russla, were attacked and killed by Police Sergeant Nago Muraszko | whils on the way to the border for the exchange, according to Informa- tlon here., Muraszko ls quoted as declaring that he made the attack in revenge for atroclous treatment he under- went when a resldent of Russia. The incident has strongly moved public opinton. Baginski and Wierzonklecz, who formerly held conimissions in the Polish army, were = sentenced to death last year on charges of impli- cation in the Warsaw citadel explo- slon of October, 1923. Their sen- tences were commuted to life im- prisonment by President Wojclegh- oweki.

Baginski was instantly killed and his companion died within a short time. After the deed, Muraszko at once surrendered himself to the custody of the other members of the police guard, exclaiming: “I have acted as a patriot! T have killed two trai- tors!" When it became known a few days ago that the Polish govern- ment had decided to accept the so- viet offer of an exchange involving the twp terrorists protests were forthcoming from the diet and the press. The critics of the government declared it was setting a precedent which would encourage acts of vio- lence by bolshevist agents in Poland. These critics, however, disapprove Muraszko's action, calling it an- archy. The Polish foreign office today in- formed the soviet legation in War- saw and the wsoviet government through the Polish legation in Mos- cow that the proposed exchange is postponed One of the Poles to have been sur- rendered by the soviets in the ex. change is M. Laszkicwicz, an em- ploye of the Polish consulate at Tiflis. Condemned to death, he had been awaiting execution 17 months, when suddenly informed that he was about to be exchanged.
