yours. Use it as you see &. Put thi
I in the same place you did that an
| he handed me another draft for $4,000
| csshed and banked IL
use il as you please he agar
! told me; when 1t is gone there i
| plenty more in Germany, and | know
/ how 70 get it,"
About that time we decided to taxi
another place, and | hired an apart
ment at IS Court Street. Wunuenbers
did not like this. as his quarters there
were not as comfortable as they were
in the other place. While getting ready
to move, packing UP our stuff, | founC
something that scared me, and lstel
led to our quitting him altogether
, Ills dress suitcase was open, and in It
saw what looked 20 me like a stick OF
dynamite wrapped up in cotton, some
coarse black powder. common powder
in a bootle. and a spool of fuse.
IL was afraid of the stuff and gave
1t 10 the man who was moving US anc
told him 20 be very careful OF il ant
see that 1t was not dropped or Jared
| That night, August % last, we all went
70 our new place-that is, all except
Wunnenberg. He did not come in until
morning, Mrs. Wunnenberg meanwhile
/ being in a fearful state Of mind. The
whole thing was beginning 20 look bad
and on August Is ] said 70 my house
keeper that we had better quit.
"Wunnenberg decided then that he
would go 10 live with Sanders. Tic
went and | went 70 my home in Snow
Hill, Maryland Nothing was said 70
me about the money | had, and | con
sdered that il was none too much fol
the work that had been done"
After that, while | was in the Ray
mond Street jail, man came TO my eel
/ and represented himself as being from
the Office Of the British Consul. II
/ wanted my story. and told him som,
/ things. Soon after | saw him IN th'
! jail again, this time a week later.
| then found out that instead of beins
an attache of the consulate he was Z
/ court officer He did not see me tina
/ time. Neither Wunnenberc nor Sande
| saw me either.
! Sander was the only visitor Wun
| nenberg had at my house. | knew San
der and used 20 take the mail tina
would come addressed 20 me to his OF
/ fee when Wunnenberg was away, anC
| he would open il and develop the in
| this mail came postmsrked Copenhagen
/ some of il came marked from Hobo
/ ken. That was stuff brought over b,
/ members of the crews of neutral YES
] sells. There was an engineer on on,
| boat that used TO do a lot OF business
| /. might be best not 10 use the name.
ITO develop the unseen stuff Wun
nenberg would take a tablet and dis
solve it in a whiskey glass of apple
vinegar and apply il with a swab o.
cotton. Then it would stick right on
/ as clear as day. ! used to ask Sander
| il there was anything in the letters
! He would answer, We'll. nothing verl
much To apply the stuff you made i
| by dropping a little bit of a thin
/ liquid into water. which would becom,
/ smoke colored like, and with a new
| pen write what you wished to. Wher
/ il dried it would not show a thing.
/ believe my housekeeper has some o,
/ this stuff now.
/ Davis Has Letters
/ "T also have some letters that cam,
addressed TO Wunnenberg in my nam,
since we parted company. Those are
| in a safe place.
"All other letters | received | elthe
gave to him or TO Sander, if Wunnen
/ berg happened to be out Ow town Of
/ in Europe"
81 did not know any OF the CORE
/ spondents or newspaper men he wa
supposed 10 have working for him
] One of them was a man named Ruthe.
/ or Rutledge. Once, while Wunnenberl
was away, / received a letter from hin
/ telling me 10 pay Rutledges wife 5000
| | did this. He told me that before h
/ could get Rutledge. if that was hi
name, 10 go abroad he had paid hin
/ $1,000. but | do rot know if this is so
/ The last | heard of Rutledge he was II
Holland.
while with me Wunnenberg used tC
be absent from the house from early
in the morning 20 midnight. He was
in Hoboken a great deal and around
the ships. He wanted me 70 get for
him the destinations of ships and the
time they would sail"
"The idea was TO get the names ovel
10 Holland on one Of the passengel
ships which would arrive days before
the slower freight boats could. | dc
not know that he got anybody else q
do il or not. | was afraid of that and
kept out.
Had Plenty of Money
"Wunnenberg always had plenty OF
money He brought back with him the
time he gave me $4,000 letter Of credit
for $4,000. There was a big man over
in Jersey who was in on this. He used
70 phone 20 him great deal.
"His mail came for the most part
through men on the neutral ships. On
one occasion he nearly had a fist tight
on a dock because a friend of mine
told him he was doing wrong using nay
name here and on the other side. The
government knows about this. That
was where a member OF a ships crew
wanted more than SIS TO take a chance
and lug some letters over for him.
Bacon's statement will be sent to the
United States soon. He is a prisoner
in the Tower of London, and, with two
others who are alleged to have been
EMPLOYED by Sander and Wunnenberg
was saved from the death of spy only
by the intervention Of the United
States.
The other two are in Holland and
probably will come to the United States
- testify under a safe conduct.
A high Federal official asserted that
the case against Sander and his alleged
partner was virtually complete, that it
was a most amazing plot and that
while some American citizens had en-
tered into the project willingly others
had been dupes from start to finish. II
