SHOCKING AFFAIR AT HAMBURG,
**
German Fascist gunmen are believed to be responsible for, an astoundingly doring, and at the same time, re- voltingly cold-blooded poli- tion! murder on a bus in a Hamburg suburb on Satur. day night.
The crime, the deliberate call- ousness of which seems almost incredible, occurred round about midnight, the bus being crowd- ed with people returning to their homes.
Accurding to the stories of the passengers, who were completely terroriset, three men jumped on to the bus with drawn revolvers, forced all the passengers to hald up their hands, and then walked up to one particular man, a Com- munist member of the Hamburg Manicipal Government, and de- manded to see his identification papers.
Man Shot Dend.
The Communist complied under the threat of the visitors' guns.
When they were certain of the man's identity, they shot him dead on the spat, and then jumped off The bus, still fring their revolvers.
