 man, the sixth, was added yesterday to the group of alleged .conspirators held
 in $25,OOO bail each by the Federal
 authorities on the charge of plotting
 to blow up munition laden ships bound for the Allies. He is Englebert Bron- khorst, 52, a Bavarian, formerly in the German army, but now a mining
 engineer and expert in explosives.
 Bronkhorst. tall and military bear ing, careful and courteous of speech in fact the acme of politeness-is said by the authorities to have been the man who met Robert Fay, designer of mines for disabling ships, and to have given him the dynamite found in the
 latter's possession at the time of his arrest a week ago last Sunday. The six men who thus far have been arrested in connection with the alleged German movement to cripple the ship
 ment of munitions to the Allies, do not complete the list of those wanted. Furthermore, Bronkhurst himself has added to, rather than dispelled, the mystery surrounding the alleged in- trigue. His arrest and the informa- ton that the secret service men have obtained, tend to show a broadening If the plot and to suggest new trails for investigation.
 Work Was Divided.
 The list of the defendants at pres ent suggest Fay as the inventor of the engine of destruction, Scholz as his rnechanican, Kienzle as an expert III clocks and as furnishing money, n PriafJlnp 2S a supplier of money and Bronkhorst as a man of experience Tn sclence ana high explosives.
 The new prisoner has been working for Benedict Lust's Naturopath Sani- tarium, in Butler, N. J.--Lust of herb tea and back to nature fame. He ar rived there last May from Mexico, after wanderings of more than twenty-two years. He has dug for silver and gold in Canada; diamonds in South Africa. He has hunted for silver in India. He has been in Aus tralia, New Zealand, British East Africa, apparently as an expert mining engineer, but always as an intense German patriot.
 Bronkhorst spent years in South America and then went to Mexico. In his wanderings he has picked up seven eight different languages, and he always has maintained a suavity and grace of speech that surprised the Federal authorities who have had him on the grill for thirty-si hours. But the most mysterious thing of all is that a man of such attainments should have suddenly appeared in this coun- try in May, when his country was at war with half of Europe, and to have settled down as the head of a gang worfkmen in Butler.
 Not Clear How He Got Job.
 How he learned of Lust's sanl- tariun, called "Yungborn," on the side of a rocky mountain about a mile and a half from Butler, has not been ex- plained. Search there last evening revealed the fact that Germans nave been for the greater part patrons of the resort, where Dr. Lust, who got | in trouble in this city several years 1 ago, believes he can cure illness by | pure food, fresh air and back to 1 nature principles
 Thither Bronkhorst went and there 1 he was employed, presumably building l a water pipe line to the sanitarium 1 from the village. He also had to do with landscape gardening and at the same time he was only four miles from the Dupont Powder Mills at Haskell. He lived alone in bun- galow and there was nobody to keep watch on his movements. In this connection it may be recalled that Scholz also was engaged on an estate ] in Waterford, Conn.,, as a landscape gardener only few miles from a big mill at Norwich, which was filling war orders for the Allies.
 Bronkhorst had opportunity to buy liberal amounts of dynamite, and he did so not only being the purchaser himself of seventy sticks from the Lawrence hardware store in Butler but at other times sending members of his gang to the store for the other sticks. On July 27 he bought twelve i and eighteen blasting caps; August 16, twenty sticks, twenty caps and fifty feet of fuse; September IA, twen- ty sticks fifty feet of fuse and twenty caps, and October 2S, six sticks
 Persons Heard Blasting.
 Persons living near the sanitarium say that they heard little blasting last and practically none for weeks. Yet the purchases of dynamite went on and when Bronkhorst was c1A CoICu SiA oIISAo u OyHdIulCo were 1 found in his bungalow.
 Bronkhorst received letters regular ly, some from Germany, and he also met many Germans who went there for the rest cure. Among them was Dr. Kienzle, who is reported to have gone there because he had neuralgia. Kienzle and Bronkhorst were close friends and it seems that Bronkhorst had plenty of free time.
 Clue From the Others.
 Kienzle and Bronkhorst are said to have kept in correspondence, and it is
