Bavarians’ New Code.
REVELATIONS AT REICHSTAG INQUIRY.
By Oabla Prose Association —Copyright Australian and P.Z. Cable Association (Received October 12, 8.10 p.m.) LONDON, October 12. Berlin reports state that extraordinary admissions of crime, and conflicts between 'witnesses’ accounts, are characterising the proceedings before the Reichstag Commission, which is inquiring, at Munich, regarding the Bavarian political murders, during the early occupation of the Rhineland, of the ex-Bavarian Premier (von Ivalir), and ex-Ministens of Justice (Gourtnor and Roth). Police officials, giving evidence under groeat pressure, admitted that a local association named “Einwolinnerwehr,” regarded as traitors persons revealing concealed arms to the Allied Military Mission and , arranged for their removal... The Association then enabled the murderers to escape by means of forged passporte. General von Epp (commander of the Bavarian troops against Bavarian Bolshevism in 1919), questioned regarding a certain murder, said the Nationalists regarded murder for patriotic ends as an act °f justice, and differing from ordinary murder. Captain Roehm (who was prominent in Hitler “Putsch”) refused to answer questions, and was fined 300 marks.
