ESCAPED AUSTRIAN NAZI
ITALIAN FRONTIER CROSSED. ATTITUDE OF GOVERNMENT. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright Rome, Aug. 31. Franz Hofer, the Austrian Nazi leader who was released from the Innsbruck prison by a ruse, crossed the Italian frontier at Bolzano, where he begged the police not to send him back to inevitable death in Austria. The matter is now in the hands of Signor Mussolini. k . Bloodstains on Hofer’s car are explained by the fact that Hofer was wounded during his flight. Hofer will not be extradited so long as he refrains from propaganda. A later message states that Hofer will not be prevented from leaving Italy for Germany if he so desires.
