PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1942. FUGITIVE FLIER Hans Krug Like Hunted Animal, Witness Testifies In Trial of Stephan. Br Paul Chandler Detroit, July 1 (R Ober , leutnant Hans Peter Krug, the German luftwaffe officer who escaped from a Canadian prison camp, came to Detroit dirty, ragged, "like a hunted animal," and met Max Stephan, the German-born restaurant owner charged with committing trea son for aiding Krug in his flight. Such was the description given In federal court today by Mrs. Margaretta Johanna Bertelmann, a German alien to whose apart ment the Nazi fugitive first went for help after crossing the De troit river in a rowboat April 18. No charges have been placed against her. Nervous and testifying in a high voice, Mrs. Bertelmann broke into sobs when she ad mitted that she was not a citizen of the United States and once bad been called before the U. S. enemy alien hearing board. 'The doorbell rang that morn ing and When I answered here was a ragged stranger asking if I had any carpenter work he could do," Mrs. Bertelmann tes tified. ( 'He asked if he could have a drink. He said he was terribly thirsty. I invited him in and be talked in German and told me he had come from the Bow manville (Ont.) camp. " 'You mean you are a Ger man prisoner, I asked. "He said 'yes.' I felt faint. "You shouldn't have come.' I said you can't stay here. Like Animal "And he just stood there look ing at me dirty, scared, and like a frightened animal." Mrs. Bertelmann said she then telephoned Stephan, who arriv ed at her house a few minutes later. " 'Go out into the kitchen' I told Max," she continued. 'Why, you are shaking,' he said: What's wrong?" " There's a pris oner of war out there, I told him. "When Stephan saw him he said Why don t you give up, you haven't got a chance?' " Upon questioning by Judge Arthur Tuttle, Mrs. Bertelmann revealed that sha had bought tobacco and knitted sweaters, scarfs, and sox and had been sending them to Ontario prison camps for many months. She said Krug had seen her name on these packages. Krug himself returned to court today so that witnesses could Identify him. I 5 ' it. r.
