DENIES
HIS
CONFESSION
Former
Head
of
Dreaded
Soviet
Secret
Police
Testifies
From
Moscow
Prisoner's
Box
MOSCOW,
March
S:
(CP)
Gendrlkh
Yagoda,
once
the
most
dreaded
chief
of
the
secret
police
the
Soviet
has
ever
known,
stood
yesterday
In
ihe
.
prisoner's
box
where'he
had'put
so
many
others
and
retracted
part
of
his
pre-trla!
confession
of
treason
and
murder
only
to
later
admit
complete
guilt.
One
of
twenty-one
defendants
facing
probable
death,
Yagoda
admitted
that
he
had
ordered
the
deaths
of
Maxim
Gorky,
the
writer,
and
Valerian
Kulblscheff,
chief
of
the
first
Five
Year
Plan.
He
denied,
however,
that
he
had
ordered
the
"medical
murders"
of
Gorky's
son
Zlnova
Perchoff
and
Vyacheslaff
Mcnzhlnsky,
his
own
predecessor
as
chief
of
the
secret
police.
Later
he
admitted
the
"medical
murderers"
and
said
he
had
accepted
$100,-000
from
Leon
Trotsky.
Previously
all
these
deaths
had
been
considered
due
to
natural
causes.
Dr.

earlier

trial
that
