LoDY MURDERED, IS CLAIM.
Martial Law Not in FOTce when
Spy Was Executed.
CBy JOHN c. FosTERJ

CBy JOHN c. FOSTERD
London, Nov. 23.-In connection with
tine approaching trial by court-martial
of an alleged German spy known as
Horst Won der GOltz," an interesting
legal point has been raised over the
shooting of the German spy Karl Hans
Lody which. it appears. was overlooked
at The conclusion Of the trial. 1t now
appears that, although the man was
duly convicted by court-martial, the mil
itary law was not in force when LOdy
was executed. although II is now.
According to the civil code the law
Of course, an obsolete One-does not ex-
tend To the death penalty for foreign
spies tried in war time, and II is con-
tended by high legal authority that the
man Lody has been murdered Accord
ing to the strict law on the question,
the soldiers who shot him are liable to
be executed for murder. Now as six
Of these soldiers had their rifles charged
with blank cartridges and the other six
cartridges, the weapons being charged
had their weapons loaded with bar
by comrades not of the firing squad, the
firers are unaware as to which Of them
fired the fatal shot. II is believed that
the only way to settle the difficulty is IN
pass a short bill indemnifying the men
from blame

REDIsCoUNT RATE TO STAND.
Federal Reserve Board WOn't
Change Ruling.

II was announced unofficially yesterday
that for the present the Federal Reserve
Board will authorize no reductions in the
redlscount rates prescribed for member
banks some days ago. Fear that suCh
reductions might drive gold out Of the
country and tend to imitation has impelIed
the board to stand by the rediscount
rates now in effect.
Applications for authority to reduce
discount rates came mainly from the
South and West. The rediscount rate in
New York is 5lz per cent for thirty-day
paper and per cent for paper of longer
term: the rediscount rate in the Boston
reserve district is 81 per cent. The rates
in the other districts vary, running as
high as 81 per cent.
