Edward Lees Movements Watched from Time He
Fled with $4,000 Last February

Edward Lee. the missing naval pay
masters clerk. who was arrested in Buff
falo Wednesday. charged with the en-
bezzlement Of $4,000 from the battle ship
Georgia, owes his capture to betrayal by
q woman upon whom he layished money.
The naval authorities. aided by the
Secret Service and special agents Of the
Department Of Justice. as well as by
the American consular and diplomats
service. have been on the trail OF Lee
since four days after he mysteriously
left the Georgia. which was then with
the Atlantic fleet at winter maneuvers
In Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Z Although the safe Of the Georgia had
been smashed, the pay clerk had four
hours start before the robbery was dis
covered. It had taken place during the
night, at q time when the engines were
under way and the necessary noise
would not attract attention How Lee
got ashore never became known Next
morning when Lee did not show up and
Paymarter John w. Morse went to open
the safe. he found the door broksn and

just been received from Washington for
payment of the men on the second
squadron, Of which the Georgia was the
flagship.
Although every train and boat was
watched for Lee. It developed afterward
that he must have been a day or two In
Havana. Under an assumed name he left
golden trail at Miami and Tampa,
Fla, where he did" the resort hotels,
and then made dash across the States
into Canada After spending some time
in Toronto, he went TO Buffalo, and
from there he was trailed to Europe.
Apparently he had only recently re-
turned to Buffalo. While m Toronto he
met q girl with whom he became Infatu-
ated and upon he spent thousands OF dol
lars. He conflded In her and she confid-
ed in her brother. The brother confded
in the Navy Department, and this really
lead to his capture. The question has
now arisen as to whether he viii be

USES AIRSHIP
FOR SUICIDE
AVIATOR, BRANDED AS TRAITOR
BY TERRoRIsTs, ovERTuRNs
HIS AERoPLANE WHILE
FLYING,

St. Petersburg, June 5.--To escape
a sentence Of death passed upon him
by the terrorists, Of whom he was
one. Captain Mazenewitch, the army
aviator, committed suicide by turning
his biplane over at height ST 1000
feet and being crushed beyond recog-
milton In the shell of his machine.
1t was at first thought that Mazene-
witch's death was due to an accident,
but letter that he wrote to friend
on the eve Of his fatal fight showed
that he deliberately took his life.
The day befare his death he ar
ranged with the terforists to take an
unnamed general up Ia his machine
and to Kill both himself and the gen
eral In q seeming aeroplane accident.
Before the general would consent to
fly, however, he exacted his word of
honor from Mazenewitch that he
would do everything possible to bring
him to earth in safety.
Mazenewitch, a man who always
kept his word. fulfilled his promise.
The terrorists thought Mazenewitch
had betrayed them and decreed that
he should die. Their decision reached
Mazenewitch, who was broken hearted
to think he was misunderstood and
considered traitor. The next day he
flew to a height of 1000 feet and sud-
denly tilted his biplane forward. 1t
turned turtle and dropped like rock.
