Carl Heinrich Low, the alien enemy
who has been confined in the Washington
county Jail in Montpelier the past few
days, will be sent TO ogiethorpe, Tia
where he will be interned by the United
States government as he is not a proper
person TO be at large during the remain,
der of the war, ii is learned
Low, who is 2S years of age, was ar.
rested in Barre by United States Mar.
sha G. +. Lackey ON the charge of being
a German spy, and it is understood that
his case has been fully investigated by
William A. Hennessey, an officer detailed
to thoroughly sift the matter for the
federal government
The prisoner came to this country in
1912, arriving at the port of Hoboken,
n. j., then going to Brooklyn, where he
has brother, Christian Low, who is a
pie baker, and who has been in this
country over 20 years.
He is a painter by trade and has prac.
ticed his profession in studios in many
of the large cities of this country. He
has also worked on farms in different
sections of the country.
When the war broke out, Low was in
New Orleans. From that city he went to
Baton Rouge, La. While in that section
OF the country he also did church dec
Grating in other cities. He left Galveston
for New York in May, 1916 While in
New York the man worked for himself
and Others until March, 1917.
On May l3, 1917, Low arrived in Barre,
in answer to an ad that had appeared in
a German newspaper in New York City.
Upon his arrival in Barre, he secured a
position with Luitpold Nuissel, for whom
he worked eight weeks and then worked
five weeks Independently.
Heinrich never saved money, but spent
it as fast as he made it. He stated in
Barre that he was subject of Germany, |
that he had never made application for |
citizenship papers and that he never had
my intention of taking out papers to be-
'ome citizen of this country. He said |
hat he had come to this country for the |
purpose of personal knowledge and bust
Tess and to study the conditions of the
American people, and added that he /
wanted to stay two years, when he would
Iepart for the other countries of the
lobe to secure his edu~Ation, whence he
would return to Germany and settle
own to business.
All the property the man has consists
4 his clothing and satchel in which
yere his paints and brushes. These were
n his rooming place. in this city. He
Iaims that he has had nothing to make
ombs, neither does he intend to use ex
losives in this country or any other
ountry.
The man claims that he never painted
ny pictures of Vermont forests or Of
ne forests of any other state in the
MON. Further. he was sorry for what
e had said against the United States q
overnment, and claims that he would q
ever have uttered a word against this
'untry had not a number of men in
ARE been annoying him and accusing
m of being spy. This, he said, was
le cause of his losing his head and say
& the things which brought the author,
les to bear upon him.
However, it is felt by the United E
iates authorities that Low is a man y
at must be looked after by the gov 2
nment, and this is probably one of the :,
asons why he will be interned until the q
,se of the war.
