BERLIN, July 17.
.'lt has .been ascertained that a motorcar was waiting near the Law Courts at the time of Captain Erhardt's escape from Leipzig prison. The driver was reading a newspaper, when suddenly three men, one of whom is believed to be Erhardt, dashed toward the car, which sped away. Several warders have been arrested, and charged with facilitating Erhardt's escape. A sensation has been caused by the arrest of Princess Margareta Hohenlohe Oehringen, aged 29. ■ Her complicity in the escape was not proved, but she was charged with sheltering Erhardt after the Kapp coup and committing perjury by swearing that he was unknown to her. Up to the present she had been permitted freedom, pending her trial.
