We will give you traveling expenses for your wife and yourself. We insist that she go with you."—"But, please, your Eminence, how

about my money?" I asked. To this Metropolitan replied: "We can do no more!" I railed at all of them, including General Semionov and left, although they tried to recall me. I then went to a lawyer and told him the whole story.

When I read through this "confession" I was completely at sea.
