New York Times 100 years ago today, October 13, 1912:
German Manufacturer Tried to Blow Up Judge and Attorneys.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
BERLIN, Oct. 12.— How the German courts treat dynamiters has been demonstrated by the sentence of ten years' penal servitude imposed this week on a formerly wealthy paper manufacturer named Friedrich Pritzsche at Munchen-Gladbach.
Pritzsche figured throughout 1911 in a number of bankruptcy lawsuits. To revenge himself on the Judge and the two prosecuting attorneys who were active in the litigation, he sent each of them early in December a package of dynamite, which would inevitably have blown them up if the parcels had not been intercepted by the Post Office officials.
