NAZIS' LONG ARM. Former Prominent Supporter Murdered. CRIME AT PRAGUE. LONDON, January 25. The Prague correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" reports that a young Berlin woman, with two German Nazis, murdered Herr Rudolph Wartnvs, formerly director of a broadcasting station. Once the victim was a prominent Nazi, but he fled from Germany at the time of the executions of June 30. The woman and her companions, after winning Herr Warmys' confidence, went to his bedroom and riddled him with shots. Then they set fire to the room and escaped in a motor car. The Nazis suspected Herr Warmys of being manager of a secret unlicensed broadcasting station organised in C;weho-Slovakia by the Black Front, which transmits anti-Hitler news to Germany. Also it is suggested Herr Warmys was in possession of secrets concerning electric rays. He was an expert in defence measures against aircraft.
