journment
II the court denies the motions Of the
defense, an appeal will be taken TO the

Only one of them, Poeppinghaus, the
youngest and father during the course
of the trial, consented to comment on the
verdict. He said:
"There is more of this yet" The super
cargo refused to eucidate his cryptic re-
marks.
The four are liable to four years In
prison, or $4,000 fine. or both-two years
or $4,000 fine or both on each count-and
the steamship company is liable to S2O,-

German Embassy.
over the vehement protests of counsel
for the defense, the name of Captain
Boy-Ed had been directly connected with
the shipping plot. The Government had
contended that Captain Boy-Ed was d
rectlv behind Captain Xuhren and the dis
puted steamer Marina Quesada This
formed major part of the prosecutions

SHIP PLOT TRIAL FAIR

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-German EN-
bassy officials today expressed the belief
that the verdict against the indicted Of
ficials of the Hamburg American Line at
New York yesterday was rendered with
ell intent of fairness.
I'VE have no complaint to make re-
EardinG the trial" one official said,
"since abandonment of the attempt to in
volve Captain Boy-Ed in the trial. The
German Embassy recognizes the justice
OF leaving German civilians in the United
States TO be dealt with by the civil au-
thoritles We only object when an at
tempt is made to involve German diplo-
matte officials, which is entirely contrary
TO international law.
"Of course, we are disappointed that
the line officials were not acquitted. but
we are hoping for better fortune when
the case is appealed"
