HOW FOUND OUT
A remarkable feature Of this case
was the way in which Dippod for SO
long managed to keep the confidence Of
the parents OF the unfortunate boys
whom he was maltreating, and the
medns by which he succeeded In frus-
tratlng al attempts to expose him IL
should be explained that Dippold. who
had the reputation Of an exemplary
master, was not lodged at the Koch
residence in Berlin but according to
the German habit. had the boys with
him at Bayreuth, where they were alb
solutely at his mercy The 1rst mint
that their parents had that anything
was wrong came TO them from the SER
wants al the house In Bayreuth where
Dippold and the boys were living
These servants had been so shocked
by The sufferngs which they knew the
two little fellows were undergoing that
they felt II their duty to notify the
Ko1h's whose address they managed
TO obtain
MOTHER FAILED TO DISCOVER
So Frau Koch went to Bayreuth to
investigate. She saw the boys but, re-
markable as II seems, apparently did
not think It necessary TO look at their
bodies and as they showed no other
signs of having been ill-treated, she
was convinced that the reports which
had reached her had been false, es-
pecially as the boys themselves said
that they were perfectly contented. At
the trial. the other day, little Joachim,
whom Dppold did not succeed In kill
ing, declared that he and his brother
would have confessed having commit
ted murder rather than eXasperate
their merclless tutor. And, before Frau
Koch left for Berlin, Dippold succeed

servants Il was that had varied her
against him and actually obtained her
authority for discharging them
SENT DIPPoLD A CHECK.
The mother. however, had not beer
back IN Berlin long when reports be-
gan to reach her from other sources
that her two boys were being tortured
by their tutor This time she sent two
of her men friends, physician and an
army officer 10 look into the matter,
but Dippold managed TO bamboozle
both OF them. In fact he hoodwinked
them 80 successfully that when they
returned TO Berlin they told Frau Koch
that the tutor was most excellent
young man" and impressed her with
his virtues to such an extent that the
woman whose children the tutor was
literally nayng alive almost daily sent
this monster check for 1925 with a
letter OF thanks for his faithful SER
vices"
THREW A GREAT BLUFF.
Now, however, Dlppold threw a great
bluff. He replied to Frau Koch's letter
I'm the tone of a man who had been
deeply injured and declared that, I'M
less he might be free from suspicion
henceforth, he would give up his post,
ending by demanding permission to
take his charges to his native village
OF Drosendorf. This was given him,
and nj Drosendorf, in rickety cottage
away from other houses, was played

filct greater barbartes on his young
charges than ever he had permitted
