Dr.. VIM. Muller, German consul
at Seattle, and his secretary, B. M
Schultz, are under arrest charged
with conspiracy in attempting to
corruptly influence John Murdoch,
an employe of the Seattle Construc-
ton & Drydock company, by trying
to hire him to sell business secrets.
Mr.. Muller and his secretary are &C
cused by the Washington state au-
thorities of offering Murdoch money
for information that would bear out
Ambassador Bernstorf's accusation
that the Seattle company is selling
submarines in the knock-down to the
British government. Murdoch says,
according to reports, that he de-
manded $1,000 for the information
sought but had finally agreed to ac-
cept $1,000 for it. A large number
of bills of lading of the company
were found Secreted in Murdock's
room, but whether he had anything
that would be of real service to Ger
many in establishing its charges has
not yet been disclosed. The case is
much attention in gov
ernmental circles.
