IRISH EDITOR NAMED IN BOMB
 PLOT CHARGES
New Indictments Against von Papen Et Al. Charge!
 Pro-German Scheme.

New York, May 3.-John Devoy, edi- tor of the Gaelic American, and John P. Ryan, Buffalo attorney, were men, toned in superseding indictments handed down here today by the feder- al grand jury which investigated the alleged German plot to blow up the Welland canal. The two men were not indicted, but arc alleged to have had cognizance of the conspiracy. Devoy, leader in this country of the movement for Irish independence, said he would answer the charge in his newspaper.
 The indictments; for the first time, refer to a ro-German conspiracy, and state it was aimed to assist the German emperor
 The indictments are against Capt. Franz von Papen, recalled German attache; Wolf von Igel, his then sec- retary; Capt. Hans Tauscher agent of the Krupps in the United States. and husband of Mime. Gadski: Alfred Fritzen and Constantin Covani. Von Igel and Capt. Tauscher are under arrest, but will be arraigned tomor- TOW.
 Named as co-conspirators, but not indicted. are Horst von der Goltz, for lner major in the army of Villa and confessed spy: Carl Tuchendler, alias Tucker, and Frederick Johann Busse These three disclosed details of the conspiracy and have been granted inn munity.
 The plot was military enterprise, states the indictment, and "the aim of the defendants was the obstruction of the military operations of the king of Great Britain and Ireland, and the furtherance of the operations of the emperor of Germany by the use of bombs and explosives in destroying the Welland canal"
