Gated with the police, and a police
matron, dressed as a nurse, wrung from
Miss Wright that Harrington, under
promise Of marriage, had lured her TO
New York.
Admits Placing Bombs
ale had plenty of money" said Miss
Wright, "and he told me he was en-
ployed by Germans"
Harrington, when arrested, adr tilted
that he had been employed to destroy
British and American shipping by
agents of the Kaiser. He said he re-
ceived money from them constantly
from the spring of 1915 until the sew
erance of diplomatic relations with
Germany.
Harrington said he was trying TO
ship as a sailor, when he fell in with
a German shipping agent in this city.
This man suggested that he place
bombs on board liners and obtain in
formation concerning the cargoes OF
ships leaving this port. He said he did
both these things.
In 1916, acting under orders of his
employers, he shipped on the steamship
Hellenes for South Africa. He was
given a time bomb to put in the cargo.
The bomb was timed TO go off a day
before the ship reached British posses
sions in Africa. He said he placed the
bomb in a case of apricots, but that
this particular case was stored on deck,
and when the bomb went off, according
to schedule, it merely blew in part of
the upper deck.
He said he then sailed for Liverpool
and there fell in with other German
spies, whose names and addresses were
given him here in New York, and that
the German agents there gave him
bomb to place on the American Line
steamship New York.
Nerve Failed Him
But my nerve failed me-" said Har-
rington, although | am the worst man
in America"
If Harrington's story proves true in
its entirety several arrests of Ger
mans now in New York will foll)w.
Fourteen Germans who have been
interned on Ellis Island started for
Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, yesterday,
where they will remain until the war
ends. Chief among them was Carl
