Thornton and MacDonald released after the Metro-Vickers Affair, 1933, (1935).
L.C. Thornton and W.L. MacDonald arrive back in England after an international crisis, in which employees of the Metropolitan-Vickers electrical engineering company were tried by the Soviet authorities on charges of economic wrecking and espionage. Public interest was focused on Russia when it was learned that six British subjects had been arrested in Moscow on certain serious charges. Two of the party, Messrs. Thornton and MacDonald, were sentenced to imprisonment, but were afterwards released as a result of diplomatic negotiations.
