BERLIN, November 27
The funeral of the Nazi storm trooper, Schumacher, who was shot on the Austrian frontier, took place at Nuremberg and ten thousand attended including Chancellor Hitler, who delivered the funeral oration. A firing party fired a volley over the grave. A communique announcing the result of the inquiry into the shooting of Schumacher says that twenty-three unarmed soldiers were descending a mountain on the German side, when Austrian Hehnwehr fired on Schumacher, who was struck sixteen yards from the frontier on German soil. Bloodstains and footmarks in the snow are proof thereof. The communique adds: The Heimwehr were not hunting previously in the neighbourhood and were not accompanied by regular gendarmerie. When Schumacher was borne off: they cried: ‘‘Down with Hitlerism: Hail, Dollfuss!”
