Washington, Feb. 22-Germany
will not be held to "strict accounta-
bilfty" for destruction Of the Ameri-
can steamer Evelyn at Borkun, If
present Administration views carry.
Practically the entire redress will
be civil proceedings by the vessels
owners against Germany when the
war is over.
While the official view is that this
latest incident added to the gravity

HAD LEFT KEYS HOME
Concocted Story of Robbery After
Pushing Wrecked Safe From Car
Door Into Apuia Greek.

Richmond, Feb. PA. \. Cham
bliss and M. NJ. Williams have con-
fessed that it was they who or
Thursday night broke open the safe
and threw it from an express car at
tached to the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Company's Florida Flyer
while the train was running between
Alexandria and Fredericksburg. Both
messengers made signed confessions.
Chambliss said that he had forgot
ten his keys, and that he broke open
the safe in order to get out his sup
plies. Williams, who. was returning
home "deadhead," repeated this. story,
and added that Chambliss told him
he had forgotten his keys and asked
him (Williams) to get his. Williams
had but ten minutes to spare before
the train left Washington. and got
the wrong keys.
After the train left Alexandria, and
when it was but short distance
north of Fredericksburg, Chambliss,
according to his confession, split the
safe open with the emergency axe
carried in the car, and then dumped
the safe from the side door He
thinks that the safe dropped near
the brink of the river, and it is said
that the little iron box now rests at
the bottom of Aqua Creek, near the
scene of the famous Morganficld rob-
berry in 1894.
Nothing save the papers and sup
plies which Chambliss needed were
obtained from the safe, which bears
out the story given out by the South
ern Express Company that it con-
tanned no money The two messen-
gers decided after they got to Rich
mond that they would say that they
had been held up by robbers, and
holes were broken by them in both
side doors to carry out their story.
The confessions were .obtained by
a. F. Cannaday. chief special agent
of the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad; Chief Special
Agent Hagey, of the Southern En-
press Company, and Special Agent
Edmondson, of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad. The examination was
conducted in Washington.
1t is improbable that criminal or
civil uproceedings will be instituted
against chambliss and Williams, and
it is presumed by Genera agent W.
a. Mehegan. Of the Southern EX-.
press Company that they have re-
turned to their homes.
Neither was placed under arrest
either before of after the examina-
ton. in which they admitted their
responsibility for the. lossl of the. safe
but they were kept under constant
surveillance while in Washington,
and did not meet each other until
their statements were in the hands of
the officials.
