William Won Bricken, an attache of

sulate and Margaret Cornell, "a secret
agent in Crowley's employee This
trio are accused of interfering with
and destroying commerce between the
United States and foreign countries
and Of using the mails to incite to
assassination and murder. Crowley
is charged as being the directing
agent in plots fathered by German
officials to destroy by fire and dyna-
mite ships bearing munitions to Great
Britain. France and Russia. There
various plots have undoubtedly been
organized by sympathizers with Ger
many and Austria, but whether ar
not they were directed by diplomatic
agents of those countries yet remains
to be proved. But it must be appar-
