Accused of Mysterious Attack on
Sentry at Aviation Center.

rOrel8n CORRESPONDENCE Oh Tue star.
PARIS. March /, 1913.
Auguste Roeder. . non-commissioned of
ficer, has been arrested at Oleville. near
Nancy, on suspicion OF having been con-
cerned in the mysterious attack recently
on sentry at the Nancy military avia-
ton center.
Two gendarmes patrolling Oleville asked
at an inn for the list Of dodgers, and were
interested to see the name of Bonnet In
the register. They asked to see this man
Bonnet. who, when he heard that the
gendarmes wanted him, endeavored to es-
cape. He was arrested and found to be
Roeder. In his possession were two LETT
tiers, one addressed to his parents. de-
claring that as he had been guilty OF dis
honorable conduct he was going to COM
NIT suicide. The other, which was ad-
dressed to himself, came apparently from
German espionage agents. In the letter
arrangements were made for meeting
between Roeder and the spies. who
threatened to expose him to his superior
officers II he did not execute their orders
Roeder, 1t is stated. has admitted that
he has been in negotiation with German
officers for several months past with re-
gard to information he was to give them.
He confessed to having been concerned
in the attack upon the sentry at the
Nancy aviation center, and refusal to state
the names OF the three men who accom-
panied him. There appears to be some
doubt as to Roeders sanity.
