Wright Officials Held in
Bail as Responsible for
Fatal Explosion in Union

ELIZABETH, Oct. S.-Ezra j.
Wright, OF 1853 North Seventh street
Newark; Arthur FL. Wright and
Harry L. Allen, incorporators and Of
ficers of the Wright Chemical Co..
whose plant in Union Township was
partially destroyed by an explosion
in the cellulose-cotton drying sheds
on September 10, with a loss of three
lives, were arrested yesterday on
charges of manslaughter, and ar
raigned before Judge Connolly, and
admitted to 81 900 bail each pending
formal arraignment in court. Bonds
insuring their appearance were offered
by the Fidelity and Deposit Company
of Maryland, through J. ID. Conover,
representing the surety company's
New York office.
The arrest of the three officials of
the company was effected quietly.
after Judge Connolly had left the
court house. They were taken before
the court in his chambers, with their
counsel. Jerome T. Congleton, of New
ark. for the purpose of having the
amount of bail fixed.
The Grand Jury has not yet re-
ported any indictments to the court,
but it is presumed that the inquest
has found true bills against the three
men arrested. If this Is the
case it is likely that the indictments
will be handed in to the court today
and the Wright Company officers
will be formally arraigned to plead
tomorrow.

HARRISON WOMEN
WERE ARRESTED
ASFRENCH SPIES
Back from War Zone, They Re-
count Tales of Thrilling
Experiences.

Arrested as French spies when
travelling in Neustadt, Germany, Mrs.
Charles Weber and her sister, Miss
Barbara Poh of 9 Patterson street,
Harrison, were detained in German
military quarters for several hours
following their arrests, according to
stories told by them today. They have
just arrived home from Europe.
Mrs. Weber and her sister left this
country on June %. They went to
Byern. Germany, to visit relatives.
During the last week in July they
heard talk of mobilization of troops,
and fearing war was about to break
out decided to start for home.
1t had been announced that should
mobilization be ordered the church
bells would toll the announcement.
On Saturday night, August |, at 9:45,
the church bells began to ring out.
Then, Mrs. Weber says, the SOL
diers marched through the streets
singing farewell songs. On Sunday
the Harrison women packed their
trunks and started for Essen, where
they expected to get passage for
America When they arrived in Es-
sen. after having travelled in freight
cars for three days. they were told
there would be no more ships sailing
for America.
The women decided to return TO
Byern. Tt was on this trip that they
were arrested. Just before the train
arrived at Neustadt, German off,
Ger boarded it and, after closely scru
tirizing the women, telegraphed word
to Neustadt to the effect he believed
the women to be French spies. When
the train reached Neustadt. German
soldiers placed Mrs. Weber and her
sister under arrest. They, were ques-
toned by German officers. Word was
finally sent to the American consul,
and he, after looking at the creden-
tails of the women, Nouched Tor
them and they were permitted to
continue on to Byern The consul
advised the women not to do any
further travelling after their arrival
at Byern.
The woman conversed with scores
of German soldiers who had been
wounded. The soldiers told how the
French had fired upon them from
church steeples housetops and even
out of trees, as they passed through
Luneville.
In order to make it impossible for
the French to know just what regi-
ments were being depleted in the war,
instructions were issued to German
soldiers to remove the numbers from
their hats.
Mrs. Weber and her sister speak in
glowing terms of the work of the Red
Cross nurses. "There was no dlscrm-
ination as to nationality" said the
women. Mrs. Weber and her sister
brought with them many souvenirs
from Germany. They have several
bullets which wounded German SOL
diers.
