GERMAN ACQUIT
GENERAL STENCER
CRUELTY CHARGE.
But Convict Major Crusius of Ex-
ecuting Wounded French Sol
diers Without Orders

L"ipsic July T. Er Schmidt, pre-
ident of the supreme court, today il
announcng the acquitta | of Lieut.
General Karl StcnGer, of the charge
of having ordered the execution u
wounded French soldiers and prison
crS. and the conviction of Major BIu
no CruSius on the same charge. d.
clared that an experienced officer lik"
Crusius should have known Grn
Stenger was incapable of givin4 such
orders. CrusiuS WAS sentenced to-
two years imprisonment and deprived
of the right to wear the German uni
form in the future.
1T has not been established that
Stenger gave the order of which he
is accused" said DR.. Schmidt tho
executions which undoubtedly oc-
CURED cannot be imputed to him Nu
credience can be attached to the cN i
denCe of Kleinhaus and Ohcrdorii
two of the Witnesses against the
prisoncrsl.
"Crusius was not responsible foI
his actions ON August 2S. owing Ia
mental arrangement. but on August
Il he knew quite well what he was
doing. Action of Crusius was due To
negligence; lie thought Stenger had
given the order to finish off the
wounded and prisoners. IN expert
enced officer like himself. however,
should have known Stenger was not
capable of giving such an order"
Berlin. July THE Tacblait Says
today that Lieut-General Stcnger up
on leaving the courtroom at LeipSic
today after having been acquitted of
the charge of ordering executed the
French wounded and prisoners, was
hailed with loud cheers -Four Eencl.-
men who attended the trial in behal
of the French governments the new
paper asserts, were received with erie
of shame"
