Although. according to the statement Of the
clerk. Grenier. the alleged acts Of treachery
all OCCURRED before the appointment Of Min
deeply and has beea surnT the
most anxiety since the affair came to light.
Capt. Borup protests his innocence. and says
that Grenier is trying. to minimize his own
offence by dragging in his name and thus pre-
Germany and Italy. but only to Capt. Boru D.
who represented = friendly power. having no
connection with European politics..
The latest phase Of the scandal ia rumor
that the plans may have reached German and
Borup to America. This. however has few be-
levers. Capt. Borup is on friendly terms with
other military attaches. including those OF
Germany and Italy. and this fact has served to
strengthen the feeling against him. as the
other terms than bare official intercourse with
the Germans. Besides the plans of the do
fences Of Toulon. Brest. Cherbourg. and other
places. Grenier is charged with divulging.
Rrepared for use in the event Of war with Italy.
The authorities have released NJ. Oudin. who
was arrested on charge of completely with
Grenier. They are satisfied OF his innocence.
