...sniveling naturalized U. S. citizen who sobbed his devotion to Germany in court and boohooed his way to acquittal when accused by Nazis of "treason to the Fatherland" was English Teacher Richard Roiderer of Cleveland, Ohio (TIME, April 22). In Munich last week opened the second Nazi trial of this kind, the defendant being Karl Nisselbeck, born in 1901 at Munich. He became a U. S. citizen in 1931, since 1934 has resided in Munich.

There was chunky Bill Blizzard, a delegate from West Virginia who took part in the famed Mingo March of 1921 which brought out the U. S. Army and ended in a treason trial in the same Charles Town, W. Va. courthouse where John Brown was found guilty. There was Powers Hapgood from Illinois, nephew of oldtime liberal Editor Norman Hapgood.
