After Huerta arrived here he had

1t has been learned that the scheme
Of the German agents was to make q

tion and finally 10 swing to the aid OF
the leader In Mexico who could make
the most trouble for the United States.
Rinteien boasted to friends that he had

trouble In Mexico or for doing anything
that would prevent the United states
from exporting arms and ammunition to
the Allies. such an accomplishment"

Just to what extent Meloy figured In

lying on any information that he could
produce. AZ for Meloy. the evidence
against him Is said to be copper fastened.
When Rintelen wanted to return to
Germany he thought he would spend a
few days travelling through England
before he started for the Fatherland.
Accordingly. he applied for a passport
as Edward v. Gasche. a wine merchant
OF Pennsylvania. 1t Is said that Meloy
furnished a guarantee to the authorities
in this city at the tim that Rintelen
made his application. thus Indicating

closely. Furthermore. they sailed on

and taken to London Meloy to be sent
