ANTI.NAzIS SEEK
TO ASSIST ALLIES

LONDON, Feb. 18.-P)-A group
of approximately 200 exiled anti,
Nazi Germans in England asked
the British government today to
allow free Germans to accompany
the British army at the front Tor
the organization of resistance
against Hitlerism among German
troops.
A spokesman for the movement
said the leaders considered 1t
fundamental that Germany must
make retribution and that the Ger
man people cannot escape re-
sponsibility for the war.
1--WE hope this will be an oppor-
tunity for Germans to make
amends and to break with the
past" he said. eve are afraid that
without leadership such as free
German movement the German
people may not make use of the op-
portunity to achieve democratic
reconstruction Of Germany-that
the people will fail because OF
apathy, disillusionment and indif-
ference"

SHERIFF S.
ON EPES LE4

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 49,
LR-Sheriff T. Alex Heise reserved
comment tonight on whether some
40 love letters which Lieutenant S.
c. Epes wrote to Louisiana
blond had cast any light as to the
motive in the death Of the officer S
wife, pretty 26-year-old Mary Lee
Epes.
The young Woman's body was
unearthed from its foxhole grave
near the Fort Jackson military
reservation last Wednesday - 16
days after Epes, 20, said he buried
it after she died of an overdose of
sedatives.
The letters, obtained from Lake
Charles war plant worker by Sher-
if Henry A. Reid, Jr., were read
by Heise yesterday. Reid said the
20-year-old girl, whose name was
withheld, told him she and Epes
were merely good friends" The
letters closed with 'love."
Heise sought today to recover
Mrs. Epes' pocketbook which he
said Epes told him he had plant
ed in a downtown gutter January
20 so that police would develop
kidnap theory after he reported
her missing.
THE pocketbook is one of the
important pieces of evidence which
we must have" Heise said "1t's
return will facilitate the investiga-
ton
The purse was described as Is
to 10 inches long and about nine
inches wide, made of a gray pin
striped cloth. The sheriff offered
a $50 reward, in addition to a 500
reward previously put up by Epes.
for the pocketbook's return, with
no questions asked.
Heise said Richmond, Va, at
torney had been employed as coun-
sci for the young officer, son of a
wealthy Virginia family, and was
expected here tomorrow.
The sheriff said an inquest had
not been set and probably would
not be until medical technicians at
Fl. Mcpherson, Ga. reported their
findings after examining the con-
tents of Mrs. Epes' stomach.
Epes, held in the State peniten-
tiary on murder charge. has re-
peatedly denied that he killed his
wife at their apartment the night
of January q, but signed state
ment he disposed of the body in a
foxhole about 2 a. m. January %
because he became panic stricken
when her pulse stopped. The fol-
lowing day he reported to police
that his wife failed to return home
after shopping in downtown Co.
lunbia. ...
Funeral services were held in
Atlanta today for Mrs. Epes.
