Senator Underwood had read a let

ed to the west
Hudson began to realize that he
was not master of the ship and knew
that he must get control of the wire

him to the wireless house. Under
Hudson's orders the mate was made
to destroy the wireless, but doing il
half-heartedly, Hudson took the axe
from him and completely smashed the
mechanism.
Hudson then went to the captains

Englishmen drink to the health of
the German who had taken the ship.
Hudson had relied on the captains
word that he would maintain strict
control of his officers and crew, but
the captain had played him false The

tured and taken ashore. He is now

There is much interest among the
people of Plainfield in connection with
the case of Clarence Reginald Hud-
son, alias Ernest Shiller, the German
steamship Matoppa at sea and cowed
her crew of Sc men. Hudson worked
in Plainfield, for the Lawton Mills
Corporation, for about a month last
fall.
Hudson, while in Plainfeld, claimed
that he had just come from Boston
where he arrived from England after
the outbreak of the war. Hudson Sc
cured work in the card room of the
Lawton Mills Corporation and board
ed at the home of Mrs. Jane Taylor
on Babcock avenue. He seemed to be
a refined gentleman and was eXcep-
tionally bright, being able to converse
freely with German and Russian ac-
quaintanceS of this place. While here
Hudson made numerous acquaintance
to whom he told many incidents of
ms life. However, some of his stories
did not corroborate with others which
he told to different persons here.
Hudson claimed that he was a Ger
man and on more than one occasion he
said fervently that he hoped and pray
coed.
Boarders at the Taylor House claim
that Hudson always read the war
news and at the time when the king
or England was injured from a fall
from his horse, Hudson jumped un
from the chair which he was sitting on
and cheered loudly for the German
cause
1t was the belief of most of the peo-
pie here who met Hudson that he was
mentally unsound. He was recognized
| here by the newspaper photographs
He boarded the British steamship
Matappo on a Thursday evening and
| hid in a lifeboat until the following
Wednesday when the boat sailed from
| port. He had in his possession two
! reVolvers, some sandwiches and a flask
| of whiskey. He claimed that he suf-
| fered intensely from scarcity of food.
After the vessel was out a day, Hud-
son came out from his hiding place
and captured all the officers and
| scared them by telling them of bombs
which he had planted on the ship. He
promised the crew and officers that if
| they would not take advantage of him
| he would not take advantage of the
position he was in by sinking the ship.
The captain of the Matappo begged
| for his life and the life of his officers
| and crew and said that if he lost the
| ship he and his officers would have
| to begin life over again and the first
mate corroborated his story. Hudson
| thought that he would not be justified
| in killing any of them by sinking the
| ship.
Hudson ordered the course of the
| ship changed to the southeast. His
idea was to take the ship to some port
in Mexico, but fearing the patrol OF
