ALSATIANS CONVICTED
FREE FIGHTS AFTER TRIAL. (Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) LONDON, May 25. Scenes of disorder marked the close of the Colmar trial. Many stood on benches cheering accuseds/ shouting “Vive Rickin' Vive Rosse.” Those acquitted joined in the demonstration of sympathy with those sentenced, shaking their fists at the Jury. The Gendarmes had difficulty in clearing the court. The excitement continued outside. Counsel for the defence was carried shoulder high through the street. A meeting passed a resolution demanding the release of the four convicted, who have decided to appeal. Crowds remained in the street until late at night, and there were many free fights.
