United Press Association—By Electric lelm graph—Copyright. (Received August 2, 10 a.m.) V BERLIN, August I. Four young Communists, a sailor, : shoemaker, plumber, and workman, [ were decapitated with an axe in the courtyard of the Altona Gaol: They had been found guilty of murder on "Bloody Sunday," July 17, 1932, when Communists attacked a Nazi procession, causing bitter street righting. It was not proved that the accused's shots actually killed any-1 ■ one, but Captain Goering, the Nazi Police Chief, ignored the urgings of mercy in accordance with the announcement that no clemency would 1 be shown those daring to attack , Brown Shirts. 5 Forty-six Communists, attempting » to distribute anti-war pamphlets in ' Berlin, were placed in a concentration camp "in view of the particulr^ baseness of the agitation."
