ed States District Attorney Kennerly,
the hearing was adjourned at 10 O'Clock
tonight until Monday morning The par
oness remained on the witness stand Tor
two hours and a half. and although at
the beginning she showed weakness and
it was necessary for the court to recess
several times until she could gain her

riage the first time was barred, includ-
ing her voyage to Europe, the time she

ton, said that she had written her hus-
band an officer in the Germany army

munication a woan friend in Arnheim,
Holland. She described her efforts to
secure the release of Zollner after he
had fled America in answer to a call to
the German colorS and was arrested In
London as an alien enemy. Baroness
Zollner declared that Major General Sir
Alfred Turner had secured the release
of Zollner on his promise as an otilcer
and a getleman that he would not take
up arms against Great Britain, and thar
he had later made his escape and join
ed the German army. She told of hav-
ing her property in England and rub
Der plantation near Singapore, India,
segregated and acknowledged that she
had stated in her bill for a divorce
from Zollner that she desired to reclaim
this property through the intercession
of the United States government.
Baroness Zollner testified that when
complaint was made against her presence
at Annapolis she had taken the matter
up with the commandant and later had
gone to Washington to discuss her stat
us with the department of justice. She
claimed that under the presidents proc
lamation that she was not an obnoxious
alien, and that she had been instructed
that she could go anywhere she desired
without violation of the espionage law
The baroness was accompanied in the
courtroom by her siXteen-year-old son.

her out of her troubles. Following the
adjournment she was returned to the

Pinned Under Car for
Two Hours, Holder Has
Narrowing Experience

ALBANY, Ga, Dec. 21.-Pinned under
an automobile in a ditch by a lonely
country roadside with escaping Easo-
line running over him and his arms
pin:oned so that he could not turn off
the switch and thus end the impending
danger of burning to death, was the
narrowing experience of d. H. Holder.
of Dawson, near here last night.
Mr. Holders left arm was free from
S;le elbow and after twisting and turn
Eng he finally managed to reach the
switch and thus ended the peril of
the escaping gasoline becoming ignited
For an hour and a half he remained
in this position before a passing auto
mobile party rescued him and two negro
men imprisoned under the car with
him. One automobile passed during that
time without its occupants hearing the
shouts of the imprisoned men.
Mr.. Holder was badly bruised and
skinned, but not seriously injured. The
negroes were only slightly hurt.

HIDDEN HAND OF
HUN SPY SYSTEM
REVEALED IN u. S.
Neutral Seamen Have Carried
"SpygramS" in Invisible Ink
to Enemy-MiIitay Secrets
Sent to Germany

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The hidden
hand of the German spy system has
been using neutral seamen messengers
between America and Germany.
a method of sending spygrams in
invisible ink-long in vogue before the
United States entered the war-has
been uncovered by the custom atficials
at New York through search of incom-
ing and outgoing crews. Two persons
are under indictment and scores of 9TH
ers are being watched as a result
Through authority granted by the
trading with the enemy act, crews were
investigated and many letters in invis-
ible ink or codes were revealed. Many
of the seamen were Swedes and their
messages were conveyed to Sweden for
relay to Germany.
The Germans used this method pre-
viously, and it has often been reported
that they paid whole crews, particular
Iy in Spanish and scandinavian ports
to act as messengers.
Revelation of this scheme recalls the
suggestion that Germany knew of the
movement of Americas first trans
ports in advance, and also that she
possessed much of Americas valuable
military information.
1t is now believed checked, the last
disclosures being some weeks ago. 1t
was learned today.
MANY things which have been with
held from the American people have
been perfectly we'll known in Grmany,
said a promfnnt army officer tonight.
