The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-09-14

eo oflusePort SIX months ago and has been in this city ever since, never l leaving. But the police know differs ently having traced him at different | times to Passaic. New Jersey.
 You have been in New Jersey since coming here. You have and know. .',zs believed Cronan. ManzaTnares then admitted he had been Throughout the interview tho dates he gave he contradicted and Srpnan then started to question him closely about the places In which he t srked 7hsres az the. addresses at l (Which he Hvea sFIe first gent to work on arriving in. Bridgeport at the Amer 1can Tube &, Stamping Co. A few
 weeks of labor inz this plant and he quit his job. He gave there a fake name and address which led the po- lice to, a vacant lot in Raiiroad ave- n1e.
 l You told the foreman there yosr were going back to Brazil, and you never went or intended to go. What about that?'' asked Cronan.
 Manzamares admitted it was the truth and added that he told the fore man who asserted that passage back to Brazil was impossible because Of the need of a passport. s
 I "Oh, I can fix that all right re- turned Manzamares. .'I've got it l framed with the Brazilian arnbassa- dor'' = l The defendant went to New Jersey. I Three or four days later he rear,e peared in Bridgeport. The next heard of him he was working in the U. NJ c. munition plant. He had given the l management an assumed name and a fake address. l One day in the heat of an are7rz nent over the war Manzamares was 1 intensely pro-German but seldom arr gued-he lost his head and said to one of the workers that Bridgeport
 ought to be and probably would be | blown up.
 Simon and Dooley again picked uD
 his trail. They went to arrest him
 and found he had drawn his pay and 1 quit his job. He disappeared for
 some days again. Again his trail
 lead to New Jersey. The police last week picked up his trail once more they lost it three times in four weeks.
 He was working at the American 1 Graphophone company. He gave no-
 tice that he was going to quit. When he went to draw his pay yesterday he
 was arrested by Detectives DooIey
 and Simon, after carefully arranging
 that he would not again slip through
 their hands, bounced on him as he
 went to the cashiers window.
 Throughout his time in this city
 and on his trips to New Jersey it has
 been learned he has always been ae-
 companied by fellow about his own iage and a foreigner. The police last
 night searched the city with fine
 tooth comb but their quarry had dis
 appeared. A
 Federal agents today have been
 notified by Cronan that the local po-
 lice have without doubt German
 spy in their custody. All the explo-
 sives will be examined by government chemists and the papers and cor trespondence found in Manzamaress possession carefully read. @ Evidence has also been obtained by the police that the defendant has :. been a, visitor to places in the vicinity of the Boston and Brooklyn navy : yards visiting the latter scene on his way to New Jersey and dropping up
 to the Massachusetts naval station. Each of these trips was made covert1y . and each time he was accompanied by a companion.
 ] It is yet to be established that Man- , zamares is not a German subject,
 First he said he was a Spaniard deny- } ing he was German citizen. Later l he said he was 9 naturaiized Brazil . ian and under the protections Of that
 government. Just what he is the pos l lice will try to determine today. The defendant in appearance is by
 no means an intelligent or tempera- l mentally mild person. He has black
 curly hair, sharp features and peneA
 trating. yet shifty eyes. He denies he is in sympathy wfth the I. w. W. l and disclaims all knowledge of the l Peoples Council, a peace organiza-
 tion, which has been prevented by the } lgovernment from holding msstSnssA
