INTRAL..

The conviction of Karl Buenz, Resident Director of the Ham. !! burg-American Line and former " German Consul General at the po t of New York; George Kotter, Ad iph Hachmeister and Joseph Poppenhouse Hamburg American officials, was affirmed on Jan. 11th by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. They were tried and found guilty in 1915 of

Government by firing false mani. fests for vessels carrying supplies from New York and other ports to German raiding vessels in the North and South Atlantic. Buenz, Kotter and Hachemeister were sentenced to. serve eighteen- months each, and Poppenhouse one year and a day in the Alanta Penitentiary. The Hamburg- America Line was sentenced to pay a fine of $tro" All were released in $5,000 bail eách pending a decision of their appeal. Hachmeister died about a year ago. The false manifests were used to conceal the destinations: of outgoing vessels chartered by the Hamburg-Amèrics Line, which had an agreement with the German Government in 1914- to supply German warships at sea with coal, and provisions. Among the neutral ships chartered were the Berwind, Lorenz and Gladstone, which were sent out with three Ham- burg-America liners. The opin- ion, written by Judge Henry W. | Rogers, and concurred in by Judges Charles M. Hough and Learned Hand, among other things says: "The District Court Judge properly took it for granted at the trial that there. was nothing inherently wrong in an undertaking to provide coal, provisions and other supplies for German warships on the high sess, as the United States and Germany were not at the time at war with each other. Neither the law of nations nor the laws of the United States prohibited such an undertaking. The act com- plained of consisted in obtaining clearance certificates for certain designated ports by presenting to the Collector of Customs sworn, manifests which falsely repres ented that their cargoes were to be landed at the ports named The actual intention was not to carry the cargoes to such ports, but to German warships on the shigh seas: “The olear obtained by means off and those responsible w of corrupt conduct
