...nowadays usually receive a sealed Nazi urn supposed to contain the ashes. Last week perhaps because she came of one of Prussia's first fighting families, Nazis did not cremate the remains of beauteous Baroness Benita von Falkenhayn, who lost her head fortnight ago while Polish Baron George Sosnowski, her master in amours and spying, was let off with life imprisonment...
...Daily News conjectured that evidently Adolf Hitler is no "pervert like some of his pals but . . . he is merely a neuter-a being who is apparently devoid of any sex feelings at all. . . . Hitler didn't execute the alleged head of this particular spy plot, the Polish Baron Sosnowski. . . . He was simply afraid to do that, in view of reprisals that would surely be taken in Poland. He had to content himself with taking two of the boss spy's poor little stoogettes, chopping off their heads. . . . This barbarity seems to indicate that Hitler has become a hater...
Last February Baron Sosnowski gave another party, officially for his latest protegee, a dancer. Berlin's half-world knew what to expect. With glittering eyes they hurried to his apartment. This time a whole cordon of secret police were waiting at the door. Many times had the Baron Sosnowski been suspected of espionage. No charge ever stuck.

Diplomatic pressure forced Germany to disgorge Miss Steele (TIME, Jan. 7), even the secret police finally admitting that she was guilty of nothing. But the music student had been innocently acquainted with Baroness von Berg, proceeded to spill all sorts of Sosnowski facts...
...Berlin last week the Sosnowski case finally reached its grim denouement before the People's Court. This is packed exclusively with Hitler appointees, five of them aviators. Only the Realmleader can alter its judgments, which take precedence over the German Supreme Court, kicked by Nazi New Justice into discard. Normally the People's Court lets its sentences of death be known only after the guilty heads have been chopped. Last week by a great exception underground Berlin grapevines got out word that the Court had sentenced Baroness von Berg and Frau von Natzmer to death...
