International diplomatic tension around the Frankfurter trial, deepened by Berlin’s reported intention to make it a major political issue, was aggravated today by the decision of the Zurich Supreme Court in the case of two Germans charged with military espionage, the Havas News Agency reported.
The court found Gottlob Johann Reinhardt and Theodore Rudolph Scheibe guilty of espionage on behalf of the Reich and sentenced them to six weeks and one month in prison respectively followed by three years’ banishment from the country.
