ESCAPE OF 24 CRIMINALS
SENSATION AT GERMAN TRIAL TWO HUNDRED CRIMES ALLEGED. BAND HAD TERRORISED MUNSTER By Telegraph—Press Assn. — Copyright. Received Apri 8, 5.5 p.m. A., and N.Z. Berlin, April 7. Twenty-four members of a band of criminals who have terrorised Munsterland with depredations and crimes of violence for years past were brought to trial at Munster to-day. It was then discovered that a number of important witnesses had not been summoned to appear. The prisoners were taken to another room, where they created a disturbance. Policemen rushed in but were unable to quell the prisoners, who rushed out of the court. Most of them were recaptured, but the leader, Wilhelm Boss, escaped. The trial was adjourned pending his recapture. Two hundred crimes credited to the gang figured on the charge sheet.
