When in 1919 the Hungarian Soviet

Adolf Hitler personally shot and
killed his friend, Capt. Ernst
Roehm, commander of the storm
troops, during last weeks revolt
in Germany, was attributed by the
Paris Midi today to Walter Flexius,
a section chief of the Brown Shirts
who fled from Berlin to the Saar.
F1exiuS1S charges according to
the Midi, were made in a booklet
which is being distributed today
at Saarbrucken.
The booklet, it was alleged, also
declared that 200 had been eX-
ecuted and that 5000 were under
arrest in Germany.
Hitler personally killed Roehln
without warning. firing two bull
lets into his body. Flexius was al
legged to have asserted. Then the
German chancellor killed Edmund
Heines, another storm troops
leader.
There was no immoral orgy 60
ing on, FlexiuS was said to have
stated, although Hitler knew of
Roehm's delinquency.
Roehm had spent the night in
conferences with Hitler and the
chancellor had personally searched
Roehm's villa. After the shooting,
Flexius was quoted as saying, Hit.
Ter departed for Berlin.
