German woman seeks death rather than deportation
In Macon Georgia on October 27 a 27 year old German woman asked Federal Judge Frank M Scarlett to send her to the electric chair instead of deportation. Keethe Schiomtropp pleaded guilty to illegal entry and her husband Paul Mayer of Albany was convicted of harboring her. Deportation was ordered and Mayer received a sentence of one year plus a day.
