ene RY GERMAN SOLDIERS SENT 21 10 DEATH INA CELLAR JA Orgy of Murder in Munich Disclosed by Conviction of Two Assassins, LONDON, Oct. 29.—A trial in Mu- mich has just disclosed details of a ghastty episode of the German revo- tation, according to a despatch to the Daily Telegraph. On the evenine of May 6, when the last sparks of the Bolshevist resist- ance were being stamped out in the streets of Munich, it was reported to Capt. von Stutterheim of the ist Company of the Alexander Regiment that an illegal meeting was in prog- ress in a house in the district for which he was responsible. He gave orders that those at the gathering be taken Into custody. A squad of soldiers was @ent to the house. With levelled revolvers and shouts of “Hands up!” they burst into @ room in which twenty-six young men were assembled. The young men, much surprised at the su@@en aud violent intrusion, ex- plained that they were members of the Gt. Joseph’s Catholic Recreation Caub, and that only the most tnno- cent forms of amusement had brought them together. But all their protests were tn vain. Stutterheim gave orders that they be délivered into the cellar of St. George's Palace, which had been set .part as a temporary jail. ‘The sight of a party of civilians under escort through tho streets by aeldiers attracted much notice, and roused the natural assumption that the prisoners were Spartacists and thes partners in guilt in many treacherous murders which, in the Preceding days, had obtained Red rele in the Bavarian city. A crowd, composed mainly of sol- Gers of other detachments, closed in afound the little convoy, and the prisoners became the target of an over increasing fire of ill treatment and abuse. As they were led within the courtyard, a large part of the crowd surged through the gates. Shots at ance bean to peur upon the helpless club members, The escort tried to shield them, but their ef- forts were not successful, for seven of them were left dead in the court- yard when the bulk of the party got down into the cellar, Among the soldiers who joined the convoy as it passed through the streets were Jacob Muller, a young butcher who belonged to the Bayreuth volunteers, and a non-commissioned oficer named Mackowski. They were two chief defendants at the trial, It appeared that on thp evening of the assault Muller was to some ex- tant under the influence of liquor, as his company ha@ recetved a liberal ration of wine with the evening meal. Mackowski placed himself at the en- trance of the vaults and struck ri and left at the faces of the prisoners ae they passed down the stairs. Then Muller, Mackowsk! and eight or ten ather soldiers followed the prisoners down into the cellar. +Mackowski ordered the nineteen mrviving members of the club to lle on the floor face downward. The tohed men obeyed, and the sol- lars emptied their revolvers into them. Those of the prisoners who were not killed or incapacitated by the first volley jumped to their feet and ecreamed for mercy. Their ap- peals fell on muddled and deafened core. Muller tn particular behaved with demoniacal tury. He drew his sword Yayonet and slashed about blindly at both living and dead. When he ha@ planted its edge he snatched away the bayontt of one of his com- rades and laid about him with that. ‘As goon as none of the victims could remain longer on his feet, the soldiers pranced about on the prostrate bodies, stamping on hands and faces and plunging their bayonets into those who still showed signs of life, Then they executed a wild dance of triumph over the bodies. Only five prisoners survived the massacre. One was saved by soldicrs who recognized him as an acquaint- ance. The other four were either ren- dered unconscious by their wounds of had presence of mind to realize their lives depended on thelr remain- ing motionless. Muller and Mackowskt were found guilty of manslaughter and were sen- tenced each to fourteen years of penal servitude.
