Allied War Crimes in Germany

While 10 men a week are being executed by American hangmen on sentences by American judges after prosecution by American prosecutors, the trials are being assailed by another American judge who made an official examination of procedure against war criminals.

Edward Leroy van Roden, president judge of the orphans court of Delaware County, Pa, whose official report is under war department suppression, is charging in lectures and after din­ner speeches that shocking third degree methods were used to obtain confessions from those placed on trial at Dachau military courts. The courts were held where the Nazis had spread ter­ror among inmates or a concentration camp.
