G. Zinoviev, L. Kamenev, I.N. Smirnov, G. Yevdokimov and twelve others were arraigned on August 15, 1936, by the Russian state prosecutor, A.Y. Vishinsky, on charges of conspiring to assassinate the soviet leaders, Comrades Stalin, Voroshilov, Shdanov, Kaganovich, Kossior, Orjonikidze and Postyshev and of having murdered S.M. Kirov. On August 19 the trial opened before the Military collegium of the Supreme court of the U.S.S.R., Moscow and on August 24 the defendants were found guilty. The evening of August 24, the following official statement was issued and was printed in the soviet press the next day: "The Præsidium of the Central executive committee of the U.S.S.R. has rejected the appeal for mercy of those condemned by the Military collegium of the Supreme court of the U.S.S.R. on August 24 of this year in the trial of the united Trotskyist-Zinovievist terrorist center.
