SCENE AT KARLSRUHE
PLOT ON FRENCH CONSULATE
ATTRIBUTED TO REDS
BERLIN, March 16. There was a dramatic scene at Karlsruhe when Hen- Wagner, the Hitlerite Commissioner at Baden, addressing a •multitude in the main square, arid also the whole of Bavaria through the microphone, said that a plot had been discovered for an outrage on the French Consulate at Karlsruhe.
This was to be perpetrated by Socialists, but laid to the charge of Hitlerites with the object of causing diplomatic strife and possibly war between France and Germany.
"The two traitors concerned have' already • been discovered, " he said, "and will be publicly executed in this very square." The crowd shouted its approval.
Five Nazis sentenced to-" death in August for the murder of a Communist, Pietzuch, and afterwards reprieved, have now been released under orders from Herr Hitler. The crime was committed a few hours after President Hindenburg had issued an emergency decree prescribing the death penalty for terrorists.
