TRIAL EXPOSES
MURDER GANG OF
GERMAN fascist
Show Nationalist Killed
Political Enemies
lspeoIaI . The oaIIy workerl


BERLIN, (By Mail)-The secret
trial of the eleven members of the
"Black Reichswehr" charged with the
murder of a German soldier named
Panier ended in the imposition of four
death sentences, sentences of impris-
onment against two for three years
and nine months, respectively, and
five acquittals The fact that the trial
was secret prevented the full public
exposure of the methods Of this fascist
organization but from the nationalist
press itself sufficiently repulsive de-
tails have been CLEANED.
The "Black Reichswehr" is an lille
gal military organization formed with
the connivance of the government
particularly of DR.. Gessler, then, and
now, minister of defense-to forestall
the threatening revolution in 1923. In
cidentally, it provided the allies with
their grounds for last years postpone
ment of the evacuation of Cologne.
"Teutonic Law
Within the "Black Reichswehr"
there existed gang nicknamed the
"Black Hand" That body's function
was, in the words of a nationalist
newspaper, "to carry out the sentences
dictated by Teutonic law" against
traitors within the ranks of the BLACK
Reichswehr."
Thru the agency of the "Black
Hand" nearly 100 young men are esti-
mated to have disappeared. One of
these was soldier named Panier
For his murder the IL were brot to
trial.
He was suspected by the "Black
Hand" Of being a Communist spy, and
was placed on the condemned list. He
got wind of the plan to kill him, and
escaped to Berlin. But he was pur-
sued by the BLACK Hand" and ar
rested by three of its members, clad in
Reichswehr uniforms.
Appeal to Police.
On the way back to the railway sta
ton Panier appealed to a policeman
for protection, and was, with his three
captors, taken to the nearest police
station. Here the officer in charge
telephoned to the headquarters of the
regular Reichswehr, and was instruct
ed to send the four men there.
The Reichswehr authorities sent
Panier and his guard back to the bar
racks Of the ''Black Reichswehr' in
Doeberitz. Thence Panier was trans
ported to an isolated barrack in Els
grunf, where the executors of the
BLACK Hand" one Klapproth, carried
out the death sentence with an iron
bar. After Panier's clothing had been
rifed the mutilated body was buried
and the ground carefully levelled.
However, the deed leaked out, and
the body was recovered. 1t was i'm
possible to avoid trial. To keep the
proceedings secret was the last resort
of the high patrons of this murder
organization.
Communists Chief Victims.
The Communists were the chief vic
tins of this gang of murderers. Doz-
ems of them were horribly slain. The
BLACK Reichwehr" carried on it's
work all during the social-democratic
regimes. The participation by them
in the various coalition cabinets have
made them directly responsible, quite
as much as the nationalists them
selves.

about one tenth of the country's total.
OF this output about 4OO,OOO,OOO were

The Wall Street Journal:

General Cigar is turning more and
more to the use of machinery in the
manufacture of its cigars. 1t now has
in operation 432 machines of the
International Cigar Machinery Co.
Orders have been placed for 100 adj
ditional machines. Incidentally, ii

cigar machinery company of some
what over 100000. Royalties are
based on rate of 81 a 1000 cigars,
so this is figured on a machine out
put of 400,OOOOOO cigars"
An increase of 81, 100000 in the COM
pany's property account during the
year is largely machinery. To this
extent capital is taking the place of

CALCUTTA, India, Feb. 2S - The
city government has instructed its Of
ficials that in the future they are to
buy no goods Of South African origin
and make no contracts with any white
citizen of the Union of South Africa.
This is in retaliation for the passage
by the South African assembly of a
bill declaring an official color bar
against the natives and natives of
India. The naughty declaration Of
General Herzog, the premier of the
union. that 1t would be wasting time
to hear the arguments of the colored
races against the measure has en-
ragged all classes in India. AS the
union is a British colony and India
also is, the situation has created a
very difficult state OF affairs.

ARN|ST|CE DAY TO.
Be HARD STRUGGLE

The Armistice day football game be-
tween the Douglas and Lordsburg
teams is taking on all evidences of
careful preparation for the struggle,
as more men report for practice each
evening. Coaches Van Antwerp and
Warren of the high school team are
not planning to use many of the regu-
lar first string players, as they face
hard games yet in the southern confer
ence. and it would be unwise to take
chances of injury to any, of the first
team men.
A number of former college and
alumni players are coming out each
evening and next week three days of
hard practise will fit them for the
game on Thursday. which will be call
ed at p. m. at the city ball park.

and shows ethe7earmarks of still having

or better during his high school days
and he can still "boot the pigskin."
Ruterman, the stocky fullback on the
1923 team, is also trying his punts and
passes, and they work in oldtime fash
ion. Red Sanders. who played a wing
position in 1923 and 1924, together with
Flop" Stevens, backfield man, came
cut last evening for the first time and

With a nucleus of former college
and alumni players, the balance of the
team will be made up of the high
school squad.
This game promises to be fast and
clean-cut. The Lordsburg team have
five ex-college PLAYERS and several
strong New Mexico high school play
ers, and are coming here with a strong
delegation of rooters in the hope of re-
trieving their defeat three weeks ago
at Lordsburgt when the local team

quarter and scored two touchdowns
