GERMAN ESPIONAGE
TRIAL IN AMERICA DO X FESSIO NS ALL EG ET) (Reed. Nov. 3, 11 a.m.) NEW YORK, Nov. 2. After the attorney for the defence in the German spy trial, Mr. George Dix, had made the charge that the case was a “frame up,” Leon Turrou, the former Federal detective, testified that each of three defendants voluntarily confessed to complicity in the plot. He detailed how statements were obtained from Johanna Hofman, Otto Voss and Erich Glaser. Turrou’s evidence was mostly on the lines of that previously given by Guenther Rumrich, the former sergeant in the United States Army, who had deserted and had confessed complicity in German espionage activities.
