Then. seeing that in all probability
Strong would be likely TO have the
Mansion house searched for other evil
dences OF treachery, Ludwig decided
on immediate departure.
And SO, picking up his little black
commercial travellers bag. he walked
quietly out OF the mayors house and
strolled down TO the railway station,
judging that he would be in time 10

in case the absconding monarch whom
he still served should require his
presence there.
Again Strong's overweening conf.
dence In himself and his system OF
trusting others until they proved
themselves untrustworthy stood Lud
wig in good stead. For there were
many passengers booking their seats
Ia the express when he reached the
railway station, and neither he nor
any one of them was subjected to any
scrutiny. questioning or hindrance
whatsoever.
And so. shortly after 6 o'clock, the
express started for Berlin. carrying

The morning was nasty; the wind
came up In gusts from the southwest.
and the rain fell pitilessly on the
troops assembled in the forecourt OF
the palace.
They formed great hollow square,
and in the center were two hastily
constructed gallows.
Strong took up his stand at the
head of his stan officers and beckoned
to Hertz to approach.

his head sullenly Schaur burst into
passionate speech.
"Countrymen and patriots" he
cried.
But he got little further than that.
for Strong said. Gag him" And they
gagged him. In spite OF his struggles,
pinioned him, and placed him on the
platform of the gallows.
What followed thereafter was swift
and horrible. Within 80 seconds both
men were hanged.
Strong then ordered the troops to

With that astonishing swiftness

angry, but he merely shrugged his
