TWO VOLUNTEERS
NUREMBERG EXECUTIONER
“KNOCKING OFF” NAZIS
(10 a.m.) NUREMBERG, Dec. 18. “I, Comrade Erich Richter, a member of the Communist Party in Germany, would like the job of knocking off the heads of the leading Nazi criminals.’
With this application, Comrade Richter was the first of the volunteers for the job of Nuremberg executioner, says the Associated Press' correspondent. The second volunteer was an inmate of a refugee camp, Joseph Schmidt, who “recommends himself as executioner” and, unlike Richter, suggests his apointment should follow an agreement on the subject of fees.
