Franz Won Rintclen. a German nOble-
man who numbers among his friends
Prince Henry OF Prussia and others OF
the imperial family OF Germany, stands
out dramatically In the investigation
being made by a Federal Grand Jury
into the activities of German secret
agents in this country.
There are two distinct phases Of the
nationwide watch being conducted by
the Government and now centrinE In

One nvolve the indemnity of von Rim

yesterday that he Is n nob,eman-and
