Search For Man Who Says He Gave Goering Poison
LONDON, Oct. 5 (Recd. 7 pm).— American public safety officers at Nuremberg are searching for a 29-year-old Austrian journalist, Peter Martin Bleibtrev, who claims to have slipped Herman Goering the “cyanide’’ phial which enabled him to cheat the gallows, says the "Daily Mail's” Berlin correspondent. Goering committed suicide in October, 1946, just before he was to be hanged. Bleibtrev lives in Nuremberg and he reported the trials for Austrian newspapers. The American district attorney in Nuremberg, Frank Stewart, said last night that if Bleibtrev's claim is true, he is liable to be charged with assisting Goering’s suicide. Meanwhile Bleibtrev has disappeared from his Nuremberg lodgings.
