Note 76 — Chapter XXII · THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CRIME ESTABLISHED BY THE ENQUIRY
F. A. (Frederic Appleby) Holt translation
Medvedief was taken prisoner at the capture of Perm by the anti-Bolshevik troops in February, 1919. He died a month later at Ekaterinburg of exanthematic typhus. He claimed to have been present at only part of the drama and not to have fired himself. (Other witnesses affirm the contrary.) It is the classic defence of all the assassins.
