Goering Expects To Hang

(By Tom Reedy).

9, D'Aguilar St.

Nuernberg, Sept. 1. Twelve of the '21 Nazi leaders whose trial for crimes against humanity ended on Saturday, believe they will hang, the German defence counsel said today. Three think they will es- cape the gallows: six "hope" they will. The German counsel, interviewed after the defen- dants had made their final speeches, said that the Nazi financier, Hjalmar Schachi, and the aging diplomats, Constantin von Neurath and Franz von Papen, expect clemency.

Crime Wave Sweeps Paris.

Paris, Sept. 1.

A crime wave is sweep- ing Paris again. In the past 24 hours: at least eight armed robberies and holdups have taken place and criminal bri- gade chiefs and experts have held councils of war at police headquar- ters.

The police suspect two highly organised and audacious ganga are at work in the city. Most of the robberies and holdups aro characterised by the same bold and lightning techaique.

The crime wave began with a postal van hokiup in the Gare Du Nord at the beginning of the week when gangsters got away with 8,000,000 francs.
