Se FORMER US DRY AGENT PLACED UNDER ARREST Is Charged With Unauthorized Participation in Seizure of Rum Smuggler TOOK PART OF CARGO British Claim Seizure Was a Within 3-mile Limit—Coast 4 Guard Says Not Washington, Sept. 26.— (AP) — Likelihood of a new international complication arising out of Ameri- ca’s sea patrol against rum runners has developed in the Bahama Is- jands as a result of the arrest of Charles H. Nestle, a former Amer- ican prohibition agent, for alleged es unauthorized participation in the seizure of a rum smuggler by the United States coast guard in British waters. Nestle, who is accused of not hav- a ing been a member of the coast guard crew at the time of the cap- ) > ture, was charged by the rum ves- sel’s crew with having appropriated 8 portion of the liquor cargo and. of Ly having had some in his possession q at the time of his arrest. The rum y runner is said to be an American ship. Disputed Point The seiztire, according to the Brit- ish authorities, took place within the three-mile territorial limit of British waters. Coast guard offi- cials in Florida, however, claimed it was out of the limited waters and alleged the complaint by the British was the result of an attempt to ab- Togate the recent treaty permitting coast guard vessels to lie in British Mesto to obsefve suspected rum ts. _A report of Nestle’s arrest was forwarded to the Washington gov- ernment by the American consul at Nassau. Nestle, who forfeited his -bail be- fore being sentenced last year on two American federal charges, left x his home at Miami, Fla., and now is said to live on one of the Bahama keys. He has aided coast guards pa- trolling the region, it is claimed, on previous occasions.
