MURDER WILL OUT
GERMAN OFFICER ON TRIAL ATTACHMENT FOR BROTHER’S WIFE. SENSATIONAL SCANDAL United Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received Jan. 26, 11 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 26. The Daily Express’ Berlin correspondent says the trial has commenced at Tuebingen and is • .causing a sensation in Germany of Baron Manfred Von Tessin, 27, an ex-officer of the jjhlans and his seventeen year old brother Kurt, who are accused of murdering their elder brother, Baron Walter Von Tessin, 18 months ago, while deer stalking. Walter was shot through the heart from behind. It was at first thought the gun went off in accident, but Manfred commenoed to spend most of his time with his brother’s widow, causing her kinsmen to resent his behaviour. During an altercation, Manfred angrily threatened to kill one relation, "as I killed my brother.”
Manfred was thereupon arrested. A number of passionate loveletters from Manfred to his brother’s wife were discovered. The younger brother was, apparently, Manfred’s tool.—■'Reuter.
