The greater part Of the work In
bringing the so-called recruiting plot
to head has been done by local army
officers. according to the two corpor-
ais. Marshal j. J.. Smiddy says that
he had been watching the actions Of
the men who were arrested for the
last several nights.
In the story told BY them todaysthe
corporals said they had q meeting
with jefferson and RandeIl at Scho-
field Barracks, at which time thoy
were told that, If they wanted to, they
could buy out of the American army
and join the Canadian service. Jef-
ferson and Randell told them, they
say. that they would be assisted IN
purchasing their discharges, and that
they could leave for Canada In the
Niagara on March Q.
This interview took place few
days prior to February 20. One Of the
corporals was first approached, ard
later the second one was taken into
the confidence Of Randelt and Jeg.l
ferson.
Would Buy Discharges.
These men told rs they would pay
for the trip to the coast and buy our
discharges out Of the army" says one
Of the corporals. We both told them
that we would 60. but we never In
tended to- We were curious to see
II they could really put the deal
through. and when we found that Il
looked serious we informed the al.
thorities.
"Randefl told US that the British
Association of Honolulu was not back
of the project"
The corporal went on to say that,
after they Informed the authorities,
they continued to negotiate with Ram
dell and Jefferson, pretending that
they were in earnest. One letter was
presented, he said, stating that the
New YORK Dress Company would EN-
ploy one Of the men as a drummer,
and also a check for $40. represent.
ing the amount necessary to purchase
the discharge.
Going on Several Months.
This same corporal stated that he
understood that the business Of try
I ing to recruit men for the Britfsh
army has been going on here for sev.
Ieral months. although he has no egi-
dence to that effect. Several men, he
adds, have been approached and haTa
refused to consider the project. The
corporal said he did not know whether
the men engaged in the alleged re-
cruiting are the same ones who were
arrested.
"As I understand it" the corporal
said, this work was zone by persons
who have since left the city, When I
was approached was given to un-
derstand that there was third party
In the deal, some 'higher-up. who
pushed the letter through. This third
party was to cash the check. But we
didn't get to see him. Randel1 and
Jefferson thought that the other cor.
poral and myself were British sub
jects, they said.
1--WE were told that there were
highersups who would help push the
deal through so that we could get
away in the Niagara on March 8. The
