MUNICH. July 2.-Five O'Clock
on a Sunday afternoon.
A firing squad of brown-shirted
storm troops stood at attention in
the courtyard of Stadelheim prison.
Ernst Roehm, war hero, trusted
friend of Adolf Hitler and supreme
head of all storm troopers, was
led forth. He faced the firing
squad a volley sounded and the
meteoric career Of a fanatical,
slightly mad power in Nazi Ger
many was ended.
He died at the order or friend
whom he had worshiped. Carried
away by misguided zeal for the
supremacy of Nazism, he was
proved traitor to the party.
Roehm IS end was probably the
most dramatic event in the stir
ring happenings of crowded,
bloody Saturday and Sunday. Hit
Ter, apprised of the plotting OF
Roehm and his accomplices, flew
suddenly TO Munich Saturday. Al
ter dealing with Roehm' S fellow
plotters. the chancellor went to
Roehm IS villa in the suburban
health resort of Wiesse.
His face set, masking any emo
tion, Hitler ordered Roehm to don
his uniform and appear before him.
Curtly he informed Roehm ne
was under arrest. Then. wordless-
v, the chancellor with his own
hands stripped the Nazi insignia
from Roehm IS uniform, turned on
his heels and left. Brown-shirte5
members of the SA, or ordinary
storm troopers, led their disgraced
companion to Stadelheim prison,
where, by an ironic twist Of fate,
Hitler himself had been confined
after the beer cellar putsch OF
1923. in which Roehm was one OF
the chief actors.
It was Roehm who built up the
SA from a handful of men TO an
organized force of 100000 which
became Hitler's stepping stone 10
power Roehm was one Of Hitler S
right hand men from the inception
of the Nazi movement.

MESSAGE FOR
CHANCELLOR
REASSUR|NG
(ContiHned From Page ID

Hindenburg's telegram was re-
garded as particularly significant
because Won Papen is regarded as
a close friend of his and is sup
posed to be his intimate political
contact.
The telegram also constituted his
own denial of reports that the
president was desperately i'll. His
health has not been good for
years, as he suffers from chronic
prostate trouble.
Papeh Under Guard
Papen himself, it was said, was
not under arrest, although he was
under guard-protective custody
at his home. as was Prince Aug
ust Wilhelm, fourth son of the
former kaiser.
The text of Hindenburg's tele-
gram to Hitler was:
Il gather from reports submit
ted to ME that by energetic in
tervention you courageously, at
the risk of your own life, sup
pressed all reasonable machina-
tions at the outset.
You saved the German people
from grave danger. I therefore
convey to you expressions of sin
cere, heartfelt thanks and apprecia-
ton.
"Hindenburg.
To Goering he wired:
II convey to you an expression
of thanks and appreciation for
your energetic, successful action
in quelling reasonable attempts.
With comradely greeting.
"Hindenburg."
