TREASON TRIAL
LUDENDORFF WHITEWASHED. COUNSEL’S COMPLIMENTS. Austr-'inn nml N.Z Urbl» \.«sorii>tion. (Received March 23, 6.6 p.m.) BERLIN, March 22. At Munich, the Public Prosecutor at the Ludendorff trial asked for a sentence for Hitler of eight years’ imprisonment in a fortress; for Ludendorff, two years; and for the others, two years and less. “ONLY AN ACCESSORY.” Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received March 23, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, March 22. The “Daily Telegraph” says counsel’s speech contained as many compliments as condemnations. He said that even where Ludendorff had broken the law he had shown himself a German from top to toe, and a brave soldier. His activity could only have accessory significance, after the cliief participators had already begun the violent overthrow of the Government. For this Ludendorff could ho pronounoed guilty only of aiding andi abetting the crime of high treason. The newspapers generally regard the speech as confirming the early impression of a “white-washing” for Ludendorff.
