developments could be looked for soon
in the case OF John Lemon. who is in
tho county worl1house awaiting SEN
tence on the charge OF swearing falsely
to get full naturalization papers for
Italians. to which he pleaded guilty.
When Lemon was arrested he made
damaging admissions to Secret Service
Agent Peeke, who arrested him. Since
that time he has made many other
statements.
On the night previous TO the day he
pleaded guilty he confessed. This in
nuenced the Government to accept the
plea of guilty and drop the seven other
charges. After he was sent to the
workhouse to await sentence Agent
Poeke saw him several times.
Yesterday afternoon it wa1 desired
to have him repeat his story again. De-
ltectivo Peeke. District Attorney Byrne,
Lemons wife and his attorneys, J..

The plot was discovered by the
Judges Of the Superior Court, which
was sitting at the time. Detective
Francis was put to work on the case
and he found that the men had given
streets and numbers in Wilmington
that they had probably never seen.
None OF the people who lived at the
addresses knew the Italians. There is
no doubt but that If this had not been
discovered they would have tried to
vote from the addresses given.
When Lemon found the scheme was
known no left Wilmington. The Gov
lernment put its machinery at work and

was at first discovered it was thought
that Lemon was alone in the scheme
for his own gain. When It was found
that many of the men who had Sc
cured papers could have obtained them
in Pennsylvania legally, it was known
that someone else had q motive in hav-
ing the men naturalized here.
