Soblen’s Escape
From U.S. Justice
Ends In Death
LONDON UP! — Dr. Robert Sob
len’s grim tug-of-war w’ith the
forces of U.S. justice ended Tues
day with his death, apparently
from a brain hemorrhage.
The 61-year-old New York psy
chiatrist who spied for the Soviet
Union, escaped the prospect of a
life term in an American prison—
and life itself—at 10:40 a.m. in a
British hospital.
He had been unconscious since
a massive dose of sleeping potion
he gulped secretly knocked him
out in an amublance carrying him
from Brixton prison to a New
York-bound airliner last Thursday.
The lymphatic leukemia he had
claimed for months was killing
him appeared to have been but a
minor factor in his fatal illness.
At his hospital bedside when he
died was his wife, Dina, also a
psychiatrist, who arrived from
New York last Friday.
A hospital spokesman said she
was very distressed and had been
admitted as a patient for treatment
of shock.
The end came for the cold-eyed,
Lithuanian-born fugitive just 7
j weeks after he jumped $100,000
bail, boarded a French airliner in
New York with the Canadian pass
port of a dead brother and fled to
Tel Aviv, Israel.
Israeli authorities denied him
the haven he claimed as a Jew
under the Isareli Law of Return
and excelled him aboard a New
York-bound airliner July 1.
He foiled them by slashing his
abdomen and a wrist aboard the
airliner as it approached London
Airport.
An airport doctor ordered him
removed to a nearby hospital for
treatment. Recovered, Soblen
fought a series of delaying actions
in the British courts and finally
made a vain appeal to the Home
Secretary for asylum.
In the end, he escaped deporta
tion with the aid of a so-far uni
dentified accomplice who supplied
him an overdose of a quick-acting
barbiturate.
