GERMAN SMUGGLERS
SUSPECTED OF MURDERS. YOUTHS’ BODIES FOUND IN OPEN GRAVE. (United Press Association.; —By ElectTU Telegraph.—Copyright.] LONDON, December 2. The “Daily MaiPs” Beilin correspondent says- Tl'#'bullet-riddled bodies cf three young men, the soils of farmers of the village of Vail, were found in an open grave, covered with branches, in a. forest near the Dutch frontier. One had died of suffocation, having evidently been buried alive. The others had been thrown on top of his body. A gamekeeper has been arrested. His allegation is that he shot the youths as poachers; but the villagers believe that smugglers, thinking that they had been betrayed, shot the youths out of revenge. The police, are seeking for a fourth missing youth. The German frontier abounds with well armed smugglers.”
