Note—Reich Chief Prosecutor Lautz, who could be reached only after his return from a journey, states that one case has been discovered where a German subject from the Memel district had betrayed to Lithuania prior to 1933 important State secrets on the organization of the supporting operation set up by the Reich for the Memel district.
In view of the extent and importance of the State secrets which were revealed, and betrayal was deserving of death. The disclosure of further severe cases of treason from the time prior to the seizure of power is to be expected.
