Meanwhile, careful inquiries had been made in Holland regarding the man Denis to whom Bacon had writ- ten when he was last in England. and it was found that he was a German and that he consorted with persons who were known to be in the Secret ‘ervice of the enemy. On this a let ter was written to Bacon asking him to call at Scotland Yard and he crossed from Dublin on the night of Dee. 8. He conld give no satisfactory ex- planation as to why he had under- lined certain words in his letter to Denis and he professed the greatest astonishment when he heard that Denis himself was suspected of being a German spy. A search of Bacon's effects vro- duced the usual ball-pointed pen, un- glazed note paper and a bottle of mix- ture which could he used as invisible ink. Moreover, he was in possession of a draft for £200 issued to him on Oct, 19. It was found that he had at- tempted to obliterate the address of Denis in his notebook and he had the name and address of @ ain Van der Kolk in Rotterdam, who had been known to us for months as an enemy agent.
