So the clergy that he escaped with or helped to escape was the treasonous informant?

Unclear. I decided to focus on Rutenberg and the electric station because this aspect of Rutenberg's life, while fascinating, seemed too detailed and filled with intrigue to fully explain. One explanation was Gapon thought working with the authorities would be in the best interest of the revolutionaries. I did find this article from 1906 https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/5100483

That was a fascinating article, thanks for the research, odd to see Jewess as a descriptor. I'm reminded of watching Star Trek as a kid and possibly Spock said when seeing lieutenant uhura what a charming negress....fwiw

Thanks and good Shabbos
