GERMAN PRISONS.
PITIFUL CONDITIONS. LONDON, July 13. . Conditions in which Nazi prisoners live were described by an Austrian, Dr. Robert Rohmc, who was released from Frankfort prison after 14 months and who broke down when reunited with his English wife and two young daughters at Dover. Dr. Rohmc was sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment for '“grossly insulting remarks” about lierr Hitler and the German Government.
“The food is uneatable. It is mostly rotten potatoes with also four ounces of black bread daily,” he said. “Convicts are permitted a visitor once in si.x months. The greater part of my imprisonment was without conversation because talk was forbidden under pain of moro rigorous confinement and a diet of bread and water. If you want to find a gentleman in Germany to-day yon have to go to the prisons because all the gentlemen are there.”
