Wilson commutes death sentence for convicted spy
Lothar Witsche alias Yubto Waberske, a former German navy lieutenant, had his death sentence commuted to life imprisonment by order from President Wilson. The case stemmed from a 1919 military trial in the Southern Department with confirmation by War Secretary Newton Baker before reaching the President. Witsche is to be moved to Leavenworth for imprisonment pending further orders.
