TRIAL IN LIEPZIG
3.45 P.M. EDITION
A DRAMATIC SCENE. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received September 22, 2.5 p.m. LEIPZIG, Sept. 22. At the Reichstag fire trial, one of tlie accused, Vanderlubbe, was dressed in prison garb consisting of blue trousers and a frayed stained jacket. His pale face sometimes took on a greenish tinge and there were rings beneath his eyes. He seemed oblivious to his surroundings and gave stupid replies to the questions in a voice barely audible. Torgler, biting his thin lips, presented a picture of terror and distress. His wife watched him anxiously.
1 The three Bulgarian prisoners seemed remote from the proceedings, as none of them understands German. At the end of the day the mystery remained as to whether Vanderlubbe was really half-witted or his stupidity was assumed.
