VICTORY

My terrible battles in GeS-
tapo headquarters and in
Camp Fuhlsbuettel had not
been fought in vain.
Cilly had succeeded in
dipping the five judges of the
special tribunal; through her
marriage, she had acquired
Danish citizenship. and her re-
lease was vigorously demanded
by the Danish press and the
government in Copenhagen.
They gave her seven months
for perhaps unconsclously
assisting in the preparation OF
a reasonable enterprise"

three Judges. there were five.

Suenderbank three yards
away from me. She looked as
cool and elegant as ever. but
pale and a little thinner. But
as soon as the judges entered
the court room. she played the
role of a frightened girl that
had been debauched and mis-
used by a Bolshevist emlSsary
who had made her believe
that he was the journalist
Williams from London.
She played her comedy
superbly. l admitted that l
had induced Cilly to become
my willing tool. On all other
questions l refused to give
answers.
The trial last four hours
The reporters of the Nazi-
press almost ignored me, their
interest was concentrated on
the woman in the case.
One of the witnesses of the
defense was the Dutch consul
in Hamburg. l guessed that
he had been drafted by
Richard Jensen. He testified
that Cilly. who had been his
secretary in earlier years, had
never had the slightest con-
tact with the Comintern.
CASUAL WITNESS
Another witness, summoned
by the prosecutor, was the
consul general of the Soviet
Union. He was a comrade and
friend. He sauntered into
the court room with his hands
in his pockets. The Nazi
Judges were irked by the
Russians casual behavior.
Are YOU the Russian con-
sui ?" the presiding judge,
Doctor Roth. snapped.
NO" said the consul.
"Weil. who are YOU"
IL am the consul general Of
the Soviet Union" he replied,
The Judge produced several
photographs. They showed
German communists, including
myself, saIuting the Soviet
banner. The pictures had
been taken in Leningrad dur
ing the German shipping
strike of 1881.
"Can you identify any Of
the men who are standing
here under the Red rag" the
Judge asked.

Without a further word. he
turned on his heel and walked
out of the court room.

The Judges deliberated for
two hours. They had not suf-
