ARREST IE MUNICH
NO APOLOGY GIVEN. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copy r i ght.) Received November 3, 1.20 p.m. MUNICH, Nov. 2. Miss Helen Lyster, of New York, and Mr Griffiths Johnson, of Washington, were watching the Storm Troopers’ daily manoeuvres at the local airport when an official dashed up and arrested them because a camera was hanging from Miss Lyster’s arm. They were placed in separate cells and were not allowed to communicate with the American Consul or a lawyer for seven hours, during which time they were repeatedly questioned by officials and the secret police. Both were forced to strip in order to be searched. Eventually they were released. No apologies were tendered. The camera was returned lacking films, which had been developed, proving they were not used, as Miss Lyster had declared.
