ASSASSIN
Difficult Position
for Switzerland
NO DEATH PENALTY.
Geneva, Feb. 15.
THE assassination of Herr Wilhelm Gusfloff at Davos yesterday evening has caused ni profound stir throughout políti- ( cal circles in Switzerland. The murderer, Frankfurter, will be tried by the cantonal court of the Grisons, the highest criminal court of this canton which sits without a jury. There is no death penalty in the Cantan of Grisons. The maximum sentenco is imprisonment for life.
The German Minister in Berne. this evening visited M. Motta, head of the Federal Department for Foreign Affairs.
M. Motte is in a difficult posi- tion. Clearly the penalty for this admitted crime is imprisonment for life. On the other hand, the Federal authorities are faced with the awkward precedent-not, of course, of their own making--that when in 1923 Conradi vitt Vorovsky, a Soviet statistical ex- pert at the Lausanne Conference, the confessed murderer was ac- quitted by a jury of the Canton of Berne. On this occasion, however, as pointed out above, the case will be tried by a high court without A jury.
The few details Available Last night are confirmed on the whole by tony's new except that Frankfurter did not immedinte- ly surrender to the police. Ho! made his escape from Gustloff's house,

"Solely Political"
At his first examination by the police Frankfurter stated that hei had no personal knowledge of his victim, and that he had killed him solely on political grounds. He had, he said, no necomplices, and had never belonged to any politi- ent party in or out of Switzerland. He had murdered Custloff because he was the national of a country where his (Frankfurter's) 40- religionists were subjected to persecution.

Soldier Deserts For Love
Of Horses
Private Stephen Downes, at the age of eighteen, had an eye (and a heart) for a horse.
His love for horses grew when he was employed with the transport of the 1st. Battalion South Staffordshires.
Then the transport was mechanised. Downes feared he would lose his job among the horses. He decided it would be better to find a new job outside the Army.
He deserted.
Last month-exactly a year later-Private Downes plended guilty to desertion at an Aldershot court martial.
The officer defending him revealed the impulse that had inspired the crime. He said he had found work in a barge in the midlands.

Police traced him, and he was questioned at Wolverhamp- The decision of the court will be given later.
