Traitor Says he

Milan, Mich. July up Max
Stephan, traitor TO his adopted
country, didn't hang, but by his
own admission he died hundred
deaths from fear on a gibbet that
never was erected.
Before President Roosevelt late
yesterday commuted his death SEN

way TO unnerving, blood watering
terror.
He had boosted after his con-
viction in Detroit federal court
year ago that Germany will not
let me hang. His ties with the
German-American bund-whose
members thought they could be
Nazi supermen-still were strong,
and he believed the Goebbels gar

tual fare.
But by yesterday afternoon.

foot cell at the federal correction

had long since ceased TO believe
that the Germany he had sought
TO serve possessed the power to

Places Last Hope
Instead, he placed his last hope
OF salvation on the mercy OF the
President of the United States, the
"decadent democracy" for which,
in the days OF his full blooded ar
rogance, he had nothing but con
tempt.
AT $40 p. m. yesterday, little
more than eight hours before he
was scheduled to hang because he
tried TO help an escaped Nazi
bomber pilot back TO the Reich.
