BY GERMANS; PROBE STARTED
Gu The Associated Press.

81 The Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 13-The govern
ment officially announced last night
that Paur Roome deMott aged twenty
two years, and q resident of Paterson,
N. j., was shot dead while attempt
ing to escape from military arrest at
Fort Wesel. He was taken prisoner
near Drimsakel,. southeast of Wesel,
early last week, charged with being In
possession of arms and aiding in the
rebellion. He was caught in company
of members of the Red Army, accord
ing to the government statement.
The whereabouts of de Mott since
his arrest had not been known, al
though he was generally believed to
be safe despite the fact that he was
reported sentenced to death by a mil
itary court. This was due to the gov
ernment's declaration reiterated last
Saturday that no death warrants
would be issued unless approved by
President Ebert.
DeMott is said here to have claimed
he was newspaper man who was
given an American passport, being
engaged in relief work. Among his
credentials were found papers indi-
eating he was about to leave for Rus
sia. iAN~
Americans who learned last week
of his capture were assured by the
German military authorities in the
Ruhr district that no drastic action
would be taken against HIM.
The killing is causticaHy commented
on by the Independent Socialist news
paper Die Freiheit. The paper describ-
ed the incident as case Of murder
by the soldiery who obviously were
afraid the higher court would annul
the death sentence"
The sentence had not been brought
to the notice of President Ebert. but
it remarked that "the soldiery do not
need the presidents confirmation
They judge and act for themselves.
The reports of the occurrence re-
ceived stated that deMott had been
shot dead by sentry while trying
10 escape from the prison. where he
was being held for death sentence.
An investigation was ordered by the
foreign office Immediately on receipt
of the report
