He received instructions from Kienzle and followed them to the dot.
 Gave Fay Dynamite.

and his kerchief was sticking from his front coat pocket. He walked around until he saw a man, said to have been Bronkhorst, who carried an unlighted cigarette. He approached Bronkhorst and told him that he should Tight up" Bronkhorst asked for a match and receiving it said a few words which identified him the man whom Fay sought Fay is saiI to have re- ceived twenty pounds of dynamite
 The secret service men ShadOwed Bronkhorst for several days. Then James A. Savage, secret service agent, visited him in his bungalow on Satur- day and asked him to call on Chief Flynn in this city. Then followed a twelve hour session between Bronk- horst and Flynn in which the chief sought to get BronlShorst as a witness against Dr. Kienzle, but he did not succeed. He asked Bronkhorst many questions and got replies that had no bearing on the present case. Finally early Sunday Bronkhorst was per- mitted to return to his bungalow but on Sunday afternoon he was request uuested to return.
 Offer of Immunity. Another long session followed, with John c. Knox, special assistant United States attorney asking questions. Bronkhorst was told that evidence had been obtained against him concerning his part in the alleged plot to attack munition ships, and an offer of inn munity was made to him if he would turn states evidence, but that did not even get a smile from Bronkhorst
 The man was grilled at length. He was willing to tell of his adventures in mining fields in different parts of the world, of his training in the Ger man army, his diploma from a uni- versity in Bavaria, of his arrival in this country the first time twenty-two years ago and many other things. But when it came to anything bearing on the present case he would look his inquisitors straight in the eyes and beg their pardon for not answering.
 Bronkhorst his short cropped hair sticking up straight, his mustache curled in the manner typical of the German officer, looked haggard yes terday morning when he was taken in to MT. Knoxs office at the Federal building. There he was questioned again, but he declined to answer and when told that he must give $25,O0O bail or go to jail he never blinked an eyelash.
 Asked for Speedy Trial.
 He was taken before United States Commissioner Houghton, told of his rights after the complaint had been read to him, refused the tender of the services of a lawyer and lowing to the court, he said: "I'll waive all my rights in order that I may be tried as quickly as possible"
 He turned to leave in charge of a deputy marshal. The commissioner halted him and urged him to accept counsel, but again he bowed and, speaking in a tone with a military sharpness, he said:
 Your Honor, have an insuperable aversion to lawyers. l regard the profession as unclean. l had the mis- fortune once in my youth to study law and I know what I say is the truth. The only favor I can ask of you is to have me removed as soon as possible and to give orders that l am to see no one"
 Would Not See Reporter.
 Very well," replied the commits
 In the Tombs Bronkhurst declined to see reporter. Fay, however, con- sented to see a reporter, and asked l concerning the arrest of Bronkhurst, | he replied:
 "Bronkhurst is absolutely unknown to me-
 Asked concerning that part of the which charges him with plotting to destroy "a ship of the United States" Fay said:
 "I never had the slightest intention of attacking any ship bearing the United States flag. There were plenty of ships belonging to the nations at war with Germany to which I might have turned my attention.
 Denies Plot Against Plants.
 Asked about the reports that he was planning to blow up munition plants, he said:
 "I have made it clear and distinct that I never paid the slightest atten- ton to intuition or other plants for two reasons: Firstly, I do not believe it. is technically possible to damage any such plant seriously; secondly, r was wise enough not to interfere in any way with American business any, where."
 Patrick J. Mcdonald, attorney for Fay, visited him in the Tombs ves- terday and afterward had a talk with Scholz. Scholz refused to deny or af- firm the story that Mcdonald also would act as attorney for him. Nc Donald said he would probably seek writ of habeas corpus by Thursday if there was an adjournment. Abra- nam Snydecker, attorney for Scholz, insisted that his client would deny charge made against him.
 It was said last night that no im- mediate arrests were expected in con- nection with the mine case. The sec ret service men, however, are working on clues and may get another man in few days.
