Convict Rintelen and Lamar Found Guilty in Anti-Trust Case
Captain Franz von Rintelen David Lamar and H B Martin were found guilty last night in a twenty three day federal trial of conspiring to violate the Sherman Anti trust law by interfering with munitions shipments to the Allies. The maximum penalty is one year in jail or a five thousand dollar fine or both. Four co defendants were not convicted and one indictment was dismissed. The jury was discharged after reporting verdicts in three cases and disagreement on four others. Special prosecutor John L OBrien said the trial exposes German money used to back pacifist and pro German propaganda in the United States.
