He gave only a sketchy account
but declared his story was "defi-

secret communication with the or

refused to say, but he did say that

they believed he concealed the true

Gebhardt, Brandt and the other
condemned SIS doctors now are

in cell stripped of any clothing or

Hermann Goering's last = minute

Super snoop case
in Renters Court

A landlord who tried to evict
his tenant on grounds that she
"pestered his office girl and
snooped around the building" not
only lost his case in Renters Court
last week, but admitted indirectly
that he had been doing some
shopping himself.
When the landlord, George
Ruhnke, who owns the building
at 1907 w. North av., said his
tenant, Mrs. Hattie Cathony, had
been shopping around the building,
Judge Eugene Holland snapped:
Shopping is not nuisance!"
Ruhnke then went on to charge
his tenant with keeping a loud,
unruly dog and-not taking proper
care of her apartment.
Perhaps wondering how Ruhnke
knew about Mrs. Cathony's apart
ment-unless he had been snoop-
ing, too-Judge Holland continued
the case to Sept. 80.
