HELD FOR LIBEL AS
RESULT OF SPY TALK
Scott Dabo and Charles d..
Helm Accused by Ralph
Il. Strassburger.
FOLLOWS ISLANDER SUIT

Scot Dabo and Charles D.. Helm, edi-
tors Of the Seven Seas MaOasine. were
held for tho Grand Jury by Magistrate
McQuade in the Yorkville our yester-
day on a charge Of criminal libel. made
by Ralph y. Strassburger, former nava,
ohiccr and Annapolis football player.
now a director Of the Navy League Of
the United States. They were paro'ed
In the custody of their counsel, Thomas
J. Keosh. and each defendant will give
$500 bail to-day.
Strassburger contends that Dabo and
Helm libelled him In saying for publ
cation that he was an agent OF the
German secret propaganda In this coun-
try. In cross-examining him yesterday
Lawyer keogh indicated that the de-
PENDANT may plead Justification II the
cas comes to trial. lie asked Strass-
burger IL he had ever upheld the o
Tirpitx submarine policy. The former
naval lieutenant replied that he had
thought Americans should not travel on
ships of belligerent nations, but that he
condemned the sinking OF the Lusitania.

dent" was the reply.

man."

Str%assburger admitted that he for
merly lived at the home OF his fathcr-in-
law. Frederick G. Bourne. ex-commodore
OF the New FORK Yacht Club. and that
the Sayville wireless station. controlled
by Germans until the United States
seized IL. was "A mile away. But We
denied that he knew any OF the German
managers or operators at the station.
The Magistrate finally ruled that this
line OF questioning was irrelevant
Mr.. Keogh said ne would show that
the libel charge was a hshlng expedition
whereby Strassburger hoped to get evil
dence TO defend himself in the $4,000
Islander suit which Dabo and Holm ave
started against him. He also contendcd
that Strassburger bore malice toward
Dabo and Helm because they interfere
with his plan OF getting control "i
the Navy League. and that what b,bt
and Helm had said in the heat OF pas
sion caused by S~trassbur2.r's attacks
| could not be held against them.
Magistrate McQuade ruled. however
that all this was beside the point. W.
| said a clear prima face libel case hac
been made out by the publication OF th'
statements OF Dabo and Helm in news
papers and the affidavit. of four news
! pa per reporters that TN" statements ha'
been made to them. The defence thc'
waived further examination.
