FAY, In BOMB CASE,
GETS NEW COUNSEL
Continued from page I

the new story told by Fay differed in
some respects from his previous one,
but refused to discuss the matter until
he had compared the points at yari-
ance and had had opportunity to ques-
ton the German concerning them.
Fay was taken from the Tombs to
the Office Of Assistant District Attorney
Knox at II o'clock yesterday. Mr.. Knox
questioned him until 1 o'clock, when q
recess was taken. After luncheon the
prisoner resumed his story, which con-
tinued until 4 o'clock in the afternoon
lie will be taken back to-day TO reconcile
some points in his statement with gov
eminent evidence, Mr.. Marshall an
nOunced.
While his client was being questioned
BIZ Mr.. Knox Mr.. Mcdonald appeared at
the Federal Building and asked TO see
Fay. He was told that he was busy and
could not be interrupted at that time.
duplicates No One.
The Germans lawyer explained after
his interview at the Tombs that Fay )
willingness 10 confess grew out of an
impression that the indictment against
him carried only two-year penalty.
The man, Mcdonald said, had over
looked the fact that the indictment had
two counts, the first carrying two
year sentence, and the second ten years.
Now that this had been explained TO
him. the lawyer remarked, il was very
doubtful whether the plotter would
plead guilty, with the chance of twelve
years in a Federal prison hanging over
him. Fay's confession, Mcdonald said
was given on his own responsibility
without legal advice.
A demurrer against the indictment
was filed by the attorney yesterday. II
is uncertain when this will he argued.
Following his conference with hi:
lawyer and Mr.. Unger, Fay's replies "a
a set of questions sent him in his cell
were extremely brief. He denied that
he had implicated any one In his testi
mony of yesterday, or that Won Bern
storff. Won Papen, Boyd or Won Nubei
was concerned in the plot.
His answer TO the question, "Wha'
was your purpose in making a new
confession ?" was, Heap big purpose.
He refused TO mention any agent who
had financed the conspiracy, and sale
that the others indicted would not fol
low his lead in making confessions. HI
