 cerned he has washed his hands of the affair, although he is willing to tell all he knows of the plot to the proper authorities. ( He is silent partner with the government and will advise agents of cQnstituted authority as far as he can. sBut he will not permit himself to be the target for the spot light, as precaution and because he desires no publicity.
 Eugene Davis Tells His Story.
 It was at midnight last night that
 two Herald reporters paid a visit to
 Eugene Davis, the Civil war spy men, tioned previously at his lonely home
 on the road midway between Plain
 vile and Pennington and heard the old man tell of his experience with
 seven German plotters on Sunday, r June 20.
 According to Davis, factories ! marked for destruction were the
 North & Judd Manufacturing conn pany of this city, the Colts Patent ! Firearms company of Hartford and the Union Metallic company of Bridge port. North & Judd is manufactur- ! ing saddlery hardware for the cavalry l of the Allies The Colts Patent Fire
 arms company is making magazine
 revolvers The Union Metallic com-
 spany Is turning out millions of bull
 lets for England.
 Listens Through Crack in Barn. | Davis was strolling through the l field at the rear of his home shortly after dinner on the date mentioned when he heard voices. The language 1 being used was German, which he l understands. He followed the direc- ticns of the voices and learned they were coming from the rear of barn CT his property. He crept up behind 1 the barn and by Nlistening through d crack in the weather beaten boards l heard six men planning to blow up the l works in this city, Bridgeport and I Hartford. He caught enough of the ], drift of the conversation to learn that 1 three of the busiest concerns in Con- l necticut were being considered for l dynamiting.

 I It was not long before the half
 dozen men were Joined by a seventh. The latest arrival did not coincide in I opinion with his fellow plotters and | speaking in English with an angry in-
 fection he harangued against blowing I up any of Connecticut's factories. 4 .'We all make our bread and but
 ter here, why blow up the shops ?' he asked. If you want to dynamite any I factories go to Canada or the west but don't blow up any in Connecticut ''
 His speech was unconvincing. His I compatriots were not swayed by his ] arguments and they continued to talk ! in German what should be done. I Awed at what he had heard, Davis returned to his home, a small cot tage which sets we'll back from the
 road. Although we'll along in years, i (Continued on Eleventh Page.)
