dollars ($50O) to defray my expenses.
AS at that time I did not know that
the acceptance of that money would
bring me into any trouble, told him
that had sufficient funds to get along
until 1 came back. On different occa-
sionS in his room Won Brincken show
ed me maps and information about
Canada and pointed out to me where
abouts he wanted the act to be done.
This was to be between Pevel-
stoke and Vancouver on the Canadian
Pacific railway and I was to get three
thousand dollars in case of a sue
cessful blowing up of a military train
or bridge or tunnel. There are many
tunnels and bridges and military
trains pass every three or four days.
He also knew when a cargo of dy-
namite would pass. He then explained
to me how 1 could get hold of dyna-
mite and explained to me that on the
other side of the river on which the
Canadian Pacific ran q believe it was
the Fraser river. the Canadian North
ern railway was in course of construc-
ton and they had at intervals powder
and dynamite magazines and that it
would be very easy to steal some Of
the dynamite.
In the month of May I went to Can
ada and arrived in Vancouver on a
Sunday morning. somewhere arount
tight o'clock ard Immediately tele-
phoned Mr.. Orchard. He came to
noon in the Elysium hotel and 1 spent
the most of the day at Mr.. Orchards
home. Next morning he took me up
to the offices of the Intelligence Off
Gals and 1 met Mr.. Tweedale there,
where 1 made the statements as made
heretofore. Mr.. Tweedale was intro
duced by me to a man by the name Of
w. H. Henderson, general engineer Of
the Great Western Permanent Loan
company. who had known me for a
g i
was identified there by Mr.. Orchard,
who had known me two years in CAL
gary. Alberta. On Monday night Mr.
Tweedale and 1 went to Victoria, B.
c., to see the commanding district Of
icer, Mr.. Ogjlvie, where the statement
made by me was read and the follow
ing scheme was agreed upon:
That with the assistance of officials
of the Canadian Pacific Railroad COM
pany a statement should appear in the
papers of the fact that a tunnel was
caved in, in one of the curves of Sell
kinks. In order to prove the blow
ing Up of this tunnel I at the same
time sent a letter to Won Bricken
stating that something was going to
happen in a couple of days. Then
Mr.. Peters of the Canadian Pacific
Railway company agreed to the plan
and in the papers appeared a news
item substantially as follows:
The headline was Trouble on the
Railroad" A report was received this
morning that one of the tunnels in the
SellIirks had caved in and railway
traffic had been considerably delayed.
The cause of it is unknown to the
railway officials, but the officials are
investigating. Mr.. Peters, the general
superintendent and the divisional dis
trict engineer and other officials left
last night for the mountains.
So when this appeared in the papers
I wrote a postcard to Won Brincken
of which he contents were about as
follows:
ION the front page of Vancouver pa
pers of such a date Ithink that it
was the 10th of May), news appears of
a flood in Japan. Our system may be
in trouble so wire here at the Elysium
