Racket or factorv, call it what you will, its days of prosperity were ended with the arrpst of Vladimir Orloff and Michael Su- niarakoff, formerly citizens of Russia Two Americans arc involved in the story of Orloff's factory, for it was Orloff who was the leader, while his chief assistant. less shrewd, struggled along The first was William Borah of the United States senate It was an attempt on the part of Orloff and) Sumarakoff to involve him again in a compromising situation with the soviet attempt hinging onto the first one. exposed in the United States led to the Russian's arrest.

The second American. Hubert Renfro Knickerbocker, Berlin correspondent for a New York newspaper, was larRe responsible for the arrest. Offered four documents purporting to prove that Borah had accepted a bribe of 100.000 from the Soviet government Knickerbocker carried on negotiations with Sumarakoff until sufficient evidence had been obtained. That made possible thp succssful raiding of the "factory" in Orloff's home the seizure of three trunkfuls of documents and much paraphernalia and the arrest of Orloff and rakoff with two assistants who were released for lack of sufficient evidence The two wpre Baron Sergey Kuester. who served as the go- between in the negotiations during which Sumarakoff offered Knickerbocker four documents for 5 000 and Gertrud Duemller, koff fiancee, who often participated in the conferences and always had much to say.

Unique In Berlin, where the police are familiar with the forged document "racket," these documents are considered unique They constitute a forgery within a factory. The original Orloff denies perpetrating but with which rakoff. who turned states evidence after his arrest, insists he was connected-was exposed last January in the United States senate At that time an investigating committee headed by Senator David A Reed of Pennsylvania made a report branding as letters and receipts which purported to prove that Senator Borah and George Norris each had accepted $100.000 from the Soviet government. The investigation did not, however, discover the source of the forged documents The new forgeries give the case a unique angle.

The burglary charge is the result of a raid on Knickerbocker's office the night that Sumarakoff arranged for the first meeting but broxe the engagement There is little hope of proving this charge, as it is based only on circumstantial evidence. There are believed to he two possibilities of punishment under the preesnt law The first Is expulsion from Prussia mAo-sItoU-R from Russia which would inconvenience the Russians to the extent of forcing them to move, perhaps as far as Bavaria, a southern German state. The other is deportation to -Russia This would be equal to a death sentence, ns the Soviet government would certainly arrest them and probably punish them with death, according to Berlin observers.
