Claims to Be An American.
London Nov 22-The intense
public interest in the case Of Carl

an American passport in the name
of Bridgman Taylor, but who. Scot
land Yard insists. is Horst Won der

hearing. 1t is intimated that the
next hearing will be before another
court. presumably a court martial.
The only charge against the pris-
Oner as yet is that he is not regis
tered as an alien. 1t is alleged, how
ever that the circumstances of the
case in some particulars are similar
to the Lody case.
The prisoner arrived in London on
Nov. 3 and registered at hotel as
e. II. Taylor of El PasO, Texas. Ac-
cording to the statements on the
passport, he had Just come from Ger

and his father an American. Upon
the death of his father, he said, he
was taken by his mother to Germany
where he was educated
The prisoner is about s. years Of
