New York.-A man beyond the

and passport frauds recently I'M
earthed by federal operatives, high
government official declared Monday.
He refused to name the master-plot-
ter but admitted the cause of the
trouble was connected with either the
Austrian or German diplomatic corps.
Under the law, we cannot prose-
cute the diplomatic representative Of
foreign power" he said.
Robert Fay. self-styled lieutenant In
the German army. and by his own
confession head Of gang Of bomb
makers that sought to disable or de-
stroy munition-laden ships sailing
from New York to the entente allies.
told the story OF his life to Assistant
United States District Attorney Knox.
Fay talked freely, fully and of his
own volition for five hours without in
terruption. What he said was not
made public, but at the conclusion Of
the session Mr.. Knox announced that
all Fay wanted to do was to plead
guilty to the governments charge
against him and go to jail.
Five cases OF this sort lead back
to four sources MIR. Wood said.
They are the Fay case. the Buenz
case and the three passport cases.
In none Of the cases did the actual
defendants know what the defendants
In the other cases were doing. The
lonr sources. however, directing these
five cases are very close together
very. 1t is my belief that these four
men all reported to and took their or
ders from the fifth man, who was the
director of all trouble of this sort in
the Uaited States"
IF you could prove this Mr.. Wood
was asked. would you or could you
prosecute this fifth man."
