A FIASCO.
THE KAPPIST REVOLUTION. " TRIALS AT LEIPSIG. (Reuter). ' (Received 10. 15 a.m.) BERLIN, Dec. 22. A sensational conspiracy trial, arising out of last year's Kapp insurrection fiasco, has been heard before'the Supreme Court at Leipsig. The court sentenced von Jagow, formerly police president in Berlin, to five years' imprisonment in a fortress for treason. The other accused, Baron Wangenheim and Dr Achiele, were acquitted. The trial developed into a skinsaving competition, the witnesses including General Ludendorff, fearing implicated in the insurrection and endeavouring to justify their actions. Ludendorff's evidence in v particular revealed hopeless muddle and lack of organisation ■in which the Kappists wallowed from the. start rendering the venture a forlorn hope.
