ATTEMPT At BLACKMA|L,
GERMAN EMBASSY VIEW
Count Won Bernstorff Authorizes
Statement in Stegler
Passport Case.

The whole matter looks very much
ike an attempt at blackmail which
failed" is what the German embassy
has to say about the Stegler passport
case. with which the name OF Capt
Boy-Ed. naval alta che of the embassy.
has been connected.
Receipt of this communication was
acknowledged by the State Department
today.
The embassys communication, it was
learned. was i copy uf the statement
which Capt. Boy-Ed issued shortly
after the charge was made by Stegler
duplicating the naval attache in the
passport case capt Boy-Ed acknowl-
edged that he knew Stegler and that he
tried TO help him 10 get work. but de-
MED emphtically any knowledge of
fraud i'll securing the passport which
StegIer possessed.
In an announcement authorized by
,he ambassador. Count Won Bernstorff.
il is stated that the main facts III the
case have been given to the State De-
partment
The ambassador. who is in New York,
autographed instructions for the fSsu-
tnce of the statement The communica-
ton to the State Department was
mailed
SO far the passport investigation in
New York has been before the state
Department only in an informal way.
through unofficial conferences between
representatives of that department and
of the Department of Justice, and ac-
cording to u high official of the gov
ernment nothing has developed requir-
ing action.
Statement by Embassy.
The embassy statement follows:
The main facts of the Stegler affair
as far as the naval attache is con-
cerned have been comm unicated by me
TO the State Department
II must refrain from dealing in any
detail with all the false statements
md fantastic allegations of Stesler
and his wife which are multiplying
from day to day and are of Il patho-
logical character.
There may be other motives in ques-
ton, but in any case the whole matter
looks very much like an attempt at
bla ckmail which failed.
1T is up to the judges and the public
opinion to form their own Judgment of
the reliability of Stegler.'
