four young communists beheaded in gaol 'bloody sijnday" revenge
-By Telegraph— Copyrlgtit).
Berlin, August 1. Four young Communists — a sailor, a shoemaker, a plumber. and a workman — were decapitated by axe in the courtyard of the Altona gaol. They had been found guilty of murder on "Bloody Sunday," July 17, 1932, when Communists attacked a Nazi procession, causing bitter streef fighting. It was not proved that the accused's shots killed anyone, but Captain Goering, the Prussian Administrator, ignored the plea for mercy in accordance with the announcement that no clemency would be shown to those daring to attack the Brown Shirts. Forty-six Communists, for attempting to distribute anti-war pamphlets in Berlin, were placed in a concentration camp, in "view of the particular baseness of their agitation."
