DEATH OF TWO BROTHERS.
'United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph , Copyright.) BERLIN. June 9.
At Vaduz, in ‘the Republic of Liechtenstein, a trial was held in connection with the death of the brothel's Alfred and 1 Fritz Rotter. Scbaedler, proprietor of the hotel to which the brothers were lured, was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment. Three other accused men were sentenced to only a few months.
The death of the brothers occurred in- an outrage against German Jews outside German territory. Alfred and Fritz Rotter, formerly leading theatre manages in Berlin, were walking with Alfred’s wife and Frau Wolf when seven young gunmen stopped them and tried to drag them into a waiting motor ear. Alfred and the women struggled free and jumped down a ravine in their effort to escape. Frau Wolf was found injured, and the other two dead.
Tn the meantime the kidnappers secured Fritz and drove furiously toward the Austrian Tyrol. Fritz at Triesenbem leapt from the car and fractured his skull.
The police stopped the ear in the Tvrol and arrested the occupants, who were placed in gaol at Feldkireh.
