GERMANS GAOLED

FOR ATROCITIES

PARIS, Tuesday.

Two Germans who ran a con-centration camp for French Jews in the Channel Island of Alder-ley during the war, were sent to prison to-day for their cruel

treatment of prisoners.

They were Heinrich Adler (10 years' sentence), described as "a drunken sadist incapable of any human feeling," and Adam Ev-ers (seven years' sentence), a "furious epileptic."

Leon Kartun, noted French pianist, who was a prisoner in the camp, said Evers once burned a sack of letters from home before the eyes of the prisoners.

Another witness said Evers

blow his jaw with kicks.
