LONDON, (JTA)—Two So-
viet Jews committed suicide in
the course of an investigation in
- Odessa preceding a mass trial of
"economic criminals" which re-
sulted in death sentences for at
least two other Jews, according
to Soviet newspapers received
here.
There are suspicions that the
two who allegedly took their
own lives may have died as a
result of torture during the in-
vestigation—or, possibly, may
have been murdered by the in-
- terrogators.
The two alleged suicides were
- named as Yacov Nukhimovitch
and Nochum Klarfeld. Those
sentenced to death were Falik
Fuks and Benjamin Gulko.
