U.S. protests Soviet reports on Mott death in Russia
The United States accused the Soviet press of false statements after Newcomb Mott, a 27 year old American tourist, died by self harm in a Murmansk prison. Embassy officials refuted claims he swallowed drugs before his death and noted bail requests and family efforts. The Moscow press alleged pills and drugs were involved and that the embassy sent razor blades, which were later clarified. The case prompted a Russian jailhouse report and a Soviet Kremlin statement was anticipated.
