Trial Of u. 5. Women
Under German Laws
Big Problem for AMG
By the Associated Press

| FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec. 81.
The question of whether American
women accused of shooting their
soldier husbands in Germany can
be tried legally under present laws
in Germany is giving American Of.
ficials judicial headache.
Three such cases now are pending
and they all present the same con.
troversial legal problem: Can an
American woman be tried under
the laws now prevailing in Ger.
many?
So far, there have been rulings
on both sides of the question. These
cases may go to the United States
Supreme Court before a final answer
is obtained.
Two Already Convicted.
Two of the women already have
been convicted by American mill.
tary government courts.
Mrs. Wilma Ybarbo, Of Maiden,
Mass, who got a 20-year prison
sentence last Tuesday for killing
her sergeant husband, is appealing
to the highest military government
court in Germany. She will chal-
lenge military governments right to
try her under German law and
without jury. The court which
convicted her rejected similar chal-
lenge.
Mrs. Mary Mimms of Chicago, ILL.,,
recently won a reversal of her two.
year suspended sentence for shoot
ing and Wounding Pvt. Willie r.
Mimms. The review board held she
was not subject to the German
law under which she was tried.
Despite that ruling, German law
will be invoked also in the trial of
Mrs. Florence Wallace of Jackson
vile, Fla. She is accused of wound
ing T/Sergt. Herman Wallace, with
a pistol last October IA.
Denies Reich Law Applies.
"We are convinced that German
criminal law does apply to Ameri-
can civilians here" said Thomas c.
Lanican of Boston, Mass, a military
government district attorney.
so we are invoking German law
in charging Mrs. Wallace with an
attempt to KILL" Mr.. Lanican said.
Mrs. Wallace also is accused un-
der military government law of as
saulting member of the occupy
ing forces and unauthorized use Of
a fire arm.
But the military government code
contains no laws to cover specifically
such civilian crimes as murder, man
slaughter, assault.
That is why the military govern
ment courts fall back on German
law, which they claim has been
partly incorporated into the military
code
