U. 5. Digging To ROOTS
Of BLAST BY GERMAN
That Special Investigation of Werner
Horne Case Was Made
Is Disclosed.

The Importance which the adnlnis-
tration attaches to the case of wer-
ner Horne. German reservist. who
tried to blow up the international
bridge across the st. Croix River. was
indicated by the disclosure yesterday
that Assistant Attorney General War
rem had been sent to the border
Mr.. Warren conducted his investi-
cation separately from that Of Bruce
Bielaski. the chief OF the secret
service agents Of the Department of
Justice, who had been in charge Of
the investigation Immediately after
the Germans arrest.
The Assistant Attorney General re-
ported verbally to the Counselor Of
the State Department Monday, and
yesterday he had another conference
with that official and with Secret Service
Agent Bielaski. He refused to make
any statement regarding the attitude
to be taken by the government to-
ward Great Britains demand for the
extradition of Horne.
Horne is being held at Machias. Me-
on the technical charge of breaking a
window in Vanceb oro. shattered by the
explosive with which he sought to
blow up the st. CroiN Bridge. He was
committed by the local authorities Feb
ruaray for a term OF thirty days. The
=
il is said. will be DELAYED until the OK
piration of this period.
II became known yesterday that in
timations have reached American off,
Gals from British sources that the ac-
tual responsibility for Horne's attempt
upon the international bridge lies not
with the reservist himself. but with the
German government. According to
these reported British limitations
Horne's destruction of the st. CroiN
Bridge was but one step in a concerted
plan alleged to have been evolved I'M
der the direction OF German agents for
cutting off means OF communication be-
tween the United States and Canada.
II is understood that Horne plans.
through his counsel. to fight any move
ment for his eXtradition with habeas
corpus proceedings. Hearings prob
ably will be held some time in March
upon the eXtradition demand.
