Judge Sessions fixed bail in $5,000 for each man, which was furnished and set the hear- ing on the complaint for 2 o’clock next Tuesday afternoon. At least seven, and perhaps as many more, men, most of them American- born citizens without a drop of Ger- man blood in their veins, are said to be concerned in the conspiracy, the purpose of which was to secure infor- mation in England which would be useful to Germany in waging “ruth- less submarine warfare,” as well as in other ways.

At least two of these suspects are members of old and highly respected American families and all of them have been connected with newspapers in different parts of the country. The name of only one nf these accused Americans, most of whom are in Eu- rope, can now be published. That one is George Vaux Bacon, a former Cleveland newspaper man and at times publicity agent for various enterprises in New York. He is held as a spy by the British government and is said to have made a clean confession of all he knows about the German plot of which he is alleged to have been one of the paid agents. ‘The running to earth of the alleged conspirators was the work of the fed- eral secret service agents. than two months the agents have been at work day and night and théy prob- | ably would be as much in the dark as! % Women Get Relief i For more ' NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1917.

The ink is absorbed by the paper and the writing cannot be detected even with the most powerful micro- scope. And only one kind of paper, so far as is known, is of any value for use with this ink. In some man- ner not disclosed the American agents got hold of some of the ink, which after much time the government chemists were able to analyze. The chemists also found the secret Oh, My; ‘But Its a Wonderful Motor.

After the agents in Europe had written their instructions in the in- visible ink they would write with ordinary ink a letter presumably to a woman relative or some friend ln the United States. The chemical which brought out the invisible ink | obliterated 2t the same time the ordinary ink. Money I'rom Neutral Country. Once the paper and ink problem had been solved the rest was com- paratively easy. The source of the money used in financing the espion- age system in England was discovered apd in that connection it can be stated that the source was not the German embassy in Washington. The money was generally transmitted by | express frora a neutral country in Europe and addressed to a person not actively connected with the spy system in this country. Eventually the money rcached the persons in New York for whom it was intended. It was not the money part of the affair that first aroused the suspiocions | of the government agents. It came about this way: A few months ago Wunnenberg caused ihe arrest of one Robert Davis on the charge of stealing $4,000 from him. Wunnen- berg sald the money was part of a legacy left him by a relative in Ger- many, and that he had given the money to Davis to put into a bank for him. The money, he said, was misappropriated, and Davis was ar- rested. le was convicted in the su- preme court in Brooklyn last No- vember, and Justice Cropsey, before ! whom the case was tried, sentenced . him to serve from two to four years in Sing Sing, where he is now. Both Sander and Wunnenberg blame Davis for the predicament in which they now find themselves. Wunnenberg had been on the Amer- jcan steamship Leelanaw and were on board that ship when it was tor- pedoed by a German submarine in ' July, 19156. With the other surviv- ors of the wrecked ship, they wers landed at Kirkwall. The Secret Serv- ice is now seeking to learn whether ‘Wunnenberg was connected with the German spy system at that time. Blames Davis For Predicament. “I first met Davis,” sald Wunnen- | berg yesterday, ‘“on the Leelanaw, on board of which we were both em- ' ployed as engineers, and we were ' both together when the ship was tor- pedoed in the North Sea on July 25, 1915. The submarine which torpedoed us was the U41, and the commander was named Hansen. Captain Hansen saw to it that the crew was landed on the beach, and from England we were sent back to the United States. Returning to New York I became connected with the Central Powers Film Exchange and I got Davis a job with the company. : “Some time afterward Davis stole $4,000 from me, bought a gasoline boat and started south. We caught him and had him sent to Sing Sing and the ridiculous charges against Sander and myself are his work."” ‘Wunnenberg also said that several years ago he was in the United States service and had served on the army transports Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, and Buford. | The arrest of Davis and his pros- ecution was brought to the atten- tion of the Secret Service, and, as a result of investigation, the agents found the trail that on Monday night ended with the arrest of Sander and‘ Wunnenberg. | | Bacon 1is the only alleged apy whose arrest i admitted by the authorities. Two of the others, it is said, are in Holland. Bacon is to return to New York as a witness for the government | against Sander and Wunnenberg and | others who may be arrested in the fu- | ture. A report which could not be ver- ified yesterday was that the German 9py system now operating here is busy getting information about the land defenses and the navy of the United States. MACHINE CO.
