Tondon, Feb. 12.- At the Old Bailey today the trial of Vladimir Boartzeff, editor of the Noradnye Voletz (Will of the People), and Weirzhech, the printer of that paper, was commenced. The prisoners are charged with issuing a publication inciting the assassination of the czar. They pleaded not guilty. The attorney general, Sir Richard Webster, who prosecuted, said such charges would never have been brought unless the circumstances had been exceptional, but, he added, the prisoners had directly tncited to murder of the czar by diabolical means similar to the nihilist outrage at the winter palace in 1880.
