MURDERER FREED
Nazi Justice Liberates “ Patriot.” LONDON, June 3. Ordering the State to pay the prisoner’s costs, the Court acquitted a self-confessed murderer, says the Berlin correspondent of “ The Times.” Prisoner was a Leipzig man, George Schirmer, who admitted killing a Bulgarian, Dimitroff, because he had discovered his illicit relations with his wife, these having occurred twenty years ago, before the marriage. Schirmer, pleading patriotic motives, said that he lured Dimitroff from Bulgaria by the fictitious offer of an important post. He beat him “ because he besmirched a German woman.” Then he shot him and flung the body into a river.
