COURTS FAILURE
TO JAIL REBELS
JARS GERMANY
BY JOHN GRAuDENz

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, Dec. l0.-German's conf

The average German has become
convinced that tho court system Is
bad. The cause is the failure Of the
high court at LeIpsic-the same tina.
tried the "war criminals" for the
Allies-to have brought before II
the perpetrators of the Kapp revolt
of twenty months ago.
There are two sides to tho ques-
tion. While the Democrats term the
failure TO try the monarchist con
spirators Outrageous" the monar-
chist element, still a powerful fac
tor, contentedly if cynically com
ments, "Our friends, cause Is in good
hands,
The Kapp revolt cost hundreds of
lives and billions of marks, and the
ordinary German has not forgiven
the people responsible for it. 1t was
demanded that the conspiratcrs be
prosecuted, and their arrest and
trial was ordered. SO far none of
them have been tried.
Until last spring the prosecutor
hlibied by saying he could not find
any of the conspirators. Then
Reichstag Interpolation revealed
that Won Jagow, one of the leading
representatives of che old regime,
had always been within reach in
Berlin. The minister of Justice told
The Reichstag that Won Jagow had
not been arrested be cause of illness
which he had proved by Doctors
certificate. Won Jagow promptly is
sued a statement denying that he
had been i'll at all.
The result of the Interpretation
was that the court was ordered to
begin the trials as soon as possible.
October 27 was fixed as the date.
A week before the trials were to
begin, the court postponed them, de-
claring that four of the rehels-Cap-
tain Eberhardt, Colonel Bauer, Major
Pabst and the poet Schonitzler had
demanded and had been given pro
visional liberty. This caused the
postponcment, it was said. as the
court wanted to try all the conspira-
tors together.
Meanwhile another REBEL Doctor
schiele. who had been in hiding
since the revolt, had been arrested
and released on 100000 marks bail.
srhe day after the postponement
Captain Eberhardt issued state
inent saying he had no intention of
at Liepsic, because he had
not sufficient guarantee that the
court would not arrest him after the I
Kapp trial for the Arzberger muir
der, which some of his men were
accused Of committing.
