SENTENCED TO | DIE AT DACHAU

Penalties for Concentration Camp Murders.

By JOHN B. McDERMOTT United Press Staff Correspondent

DACHAU, Dec, 13.—An American military court to-

mans to hang for. participating in mass murders while serving as officials and guards. at the Dachau concentration camp. One of the 40 men convicted yesterday was sentenced to life imprisonment, and the other three to 10 years imprisonment each. The sentences are subject to the approval of Lt. Gen. Lucian Truscott, commander of the U. S. 3d army, and Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, commander of the European theater. Christof Knell, former Dachau prisoner who betrayed his fellow inmates, fainted when sentenced to death. Dr Klaus Schilling, charged with killing hundreds of jnmates in malaria experiments, nodded his head as though expecting the sentence, then staggered slightly when he was sentenced to die. Others Show No Emotion The other defendants heard thelr fate without the slightest show of emotion. An overflow crowd heard Brig. Gen, John M. Lentz, president of the eight-man court, tell each of the 36 men, “I sentence you to death by hanging at such time and; place as higher authorities may difect.” Among those sentenced to die were Martin Weiss, former camp commander, and Dr. Fritz Hintermeye, who injected two pregnant Russiari women with poison. Peter Betz, leader of one section of the camp guards, drew the life
