Robert Fay. formerly a Lieutenant in

Criminal Court yesterday telling Judge
Howe and a jury about his experiences
In the trenches and his invention OF a
high explosive mine designed to knock
the rudders of munition ships.
II was a sort OF field day for the

said, knew nothing about his plans. Fay

to sell to Germany, the Allies or any
body who. desiring to make ships help

Standing beside the small model of

attached. Fay discoursed At length
about the im~possibility Of his min.

not waterproof: the force Of the water
hurled against IL by the propeller of tn"
ship would tear it loose from the rudder
within two or three hours. Further
more. II by any chance there was an ~
plosion tn. sudden expansion Of the
gases would drive the water right under
the ship and would not knock or IN"

were scientific facts. insisted Fay
smoothly.
Fay said DaeChe knew nothing about
his plans. He said pr. Herbert ki"nzle
and Max Brcitung. named in the iudiCt
ment. but granted "A separate tria,, had
no knowledge OF his invention nor why
he desired explosives. He asserted he

was mentioned TO him by Paul Sicls,
one Of the Governments witnesses. who
sold him some OF the explosive. FAY
finished his direct testimony at 4 i. NJ.
Before the defence began to present
its case motions to dismiss were offered.

BARKENTINE ARKEN, WHICH
STARTED SUNDAY FOR MAR
sEILLEs, SPRUNG A LEAK AND
PUTS BACK TO PORT.

After going but 70 miles into the
gulf, the beginning of a voyage to
Marseilles, the Danish barkentine
Aiken put back TO port yesterday.
coming into the bay and taking an
anchorage opposite the naval station,
where the ship will remain until it
is determined by a survey whether or
not a leak can be repaired without the
vessel having to go into drydock-
The Aiken sailed from here last
Sunday with timber and lumber car
go for Marseilles. When she appear
ed in the offing yesterday morning,
the pilots at once recogr zed the craft
as the one which but couple of days
before had left here, and the set signal
soon told of the ships troubles.
While it was not officially stated
yesterday just what was thought to
have caused the vessel to leak, it was
admitted that the leak was too serious
to permit of the Aiken attempting to
make the voyage to France, and as
soon as it was discovered that she
was taking so much water the skipper
decided to return and report the
trouble, and to permit a survey of
the vessel. Such steps will probably
be taken today.
