Received Tuesday, 8.5 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 6. The German generals involved in the plot against Hitler were not hanged hut slowly strangled by the medieval method of garrotting, according to neutral diplomats in London, says the Daily Express. The generals sat bound in chairs with their backs to posts. Ropes passed round their necks arid posts, were slowly wound up with sticks. The generals took eight to 10 minutes to die in sweating agony. Hitler had the killings filmed and shown in the barracks and camps as a warning.
