London, Sept. 4.
A British national by the name of Robert Hell was arrested at Leningrad on the charge of espionage according to a Moscow despatch to the "Daily Telegraph," which states that Bell was arrested in the apartment of a British physician which the GPU had previously searched.
The British Embassy at Moscow has immediately taken energetic steps to ascertain from the Soviet authorities the exact nature of the accusations made against Bell, who until last July had been employed for over seven years by a Leningrad firm of manufacturers of telegraphic and telephonic equipment, The despatch adds that only a few hours before Bell's arrest ten employees of the same firm were executed after having been convicted of sabotage.—Trans-Ocean, Simultaneous Beaming To Six Different Points
