The Daily Express’ Berlin correspondent says Techow, Fischer and Kauer are members of the notorious Monarchist organisation Consul, and formerly belonged to the Ehrhardt Brigade. They confessed not only to the murders of Dr. Rathenau and Herr Erzberger, but also regarding the inner workings of the Consul. Facts relating to a hundred political murders committed since 1919, and hitherto a complete mystery, are now fully known to the police. Startling revelations regarding intimate relations between Ludendorff, Helfferich, von Jagow, Count Westarp (leader of the Prussian Conservatives), and the murderers of Dr. Rathenau, are disclosed by the arrest of a student named Guenther, who, it is alleged, secured the motor-car for Dr. Rathenau’s assailants.
