CONVICT JA SISTERS OF AIDING NAZIS DENVER, Aug. 11.—Three Jap- American sisters, a sed of help- ing two German prisoners to es- cape from a prison camp, have been convicted by an United States Dis- trict Court jury of conspiracy to commit treason. They were ac- quitted on the treason charges. Judge Symes withheld imposition of sentence, which may not exceed two years in prison and a $10,000 find. The penalty on a treason conviction is death. The defendants are Mrs. Tsuruko Wallace, 35, Mrs. Florence Otani, 33, and Mrs. Billie Tanigoshi, 32 The sisters exhibited no emotion when aecused of furnishing maps and clothing to aid Heinric Haider and Herman Loescher to escape from a Trinidad camp, October 16. Amorous snapshots of the women were found on the Germans when captured.
