Officers Testify That Accused Man Was Capable Aide
In a New York court martial Captain Edwin C. Weisgerber a Pittsburgh engineer faced charges of disloyalty and sympathy with Germany. Three army officers testified he aided the government supplying chemicals for army and navy use and showed no unpatriotic actions. Capt Harrod and Charles Duth cited unique compounds Weisgerber supplied. Major Oliver Zimmerman called him distinctly capable and satisfactory. Stuts and Herr, auto racers, said Weisgerber aided gasoline tests with no observed engine harm. The defense contested the government claim of dangerous fuel sample involving British tests.
