WILMINGTON, Del. April 1a.-Er-
nest Schiller. alias Clarence r. Hudson,
who recently held up the captain and
crew of fifty-six men of the British
freichter Matoppo on the high sea, was
on his way today to the federal prison
at Atlanta in custody of United States
mar:;hals. Schiller yesterday pleaded
guilty to charge of piracy and was
given a life sentence.
Before leaving here last night Schil-
Ter in d statement declared that his de-
~,re for revenge against England had
prompted his act. At the same time. he
said. he hoped to do something for the
cause of Germany" He denied that
robbery had been his motive, and said
that the chief reason his plan TO sink
the Matoppo had failed was because Re
did not want to kill anybody. When l
took charge of the ship" he said. lit
was so rough that it would have been
murder to have forced the crew to get
out in small boats. as 1 had al first in
tended them to do.
Schiller said he was highly pleased"
that he was not being sent back to
England.
