In Espionage Case
By the Associated Press.


NORFOLK, Va. Aug. 1.-Walde-
mar Othmer. naturalized American
OF German birth, pleading guilty to
violating the espionage laws of the
United States, was sentenced to 20
years in prison by Judge C. J.
Wyche in the Federal District
Court Monday.
While Othmer pleaded guilty to
committing acts of espionage. he
denied that any of them were
against the United States. He ad-
mitted supplying information about
movement Of shipping to England
but said all the acts were COM
mitted before Pearl Harbor.
Othmer. who has a wife and child
in Germany, said he was forced into
acts of espionage against England
becouse of his membership in the
German-American Bund. He told
how an agent Of the German naval
intelligence put him in a position to
study radio after he had returned
to Germany. Then he was returned
to America, he said, with $500 in
cash to pay for a receiving and
sending set and other equipment
with which to send information
about ship movements.
~Othmer told the court how he did
most Of his espionage work while
living in Norfolk. In a signed state
ment he admitted having sent in
formation to Germany by mail
concerning movement of q lease
lend ship to England.
