current n month ago that four Ameri-
can warships had been destroyed by
German naval gunfre in battle in the
North Sea and that dead and wounded
American sailors had been brought
back secretly TO America was started
by Charles Z. Knapp, a discharged
sailor. If his story is to be believed.
Knapp. who is serving a term OF one
wear in the county Jail here, confessed
today TO Charles f. Lynch, United
States Attorney for New Jersey, that
he was the author of the lie which sent
thousands of anxious relatives to ma
rine hospitals the country over, in the
needless search of tidings OF their KIN.
Knapp was dishonorably discharged
from the navy eight years ago, after
serving various terms for desertion
and drunkenness. He started the ru-
NOR by telling any hearers he cou d OBJ
tain how he was on the l. ,. ,. Penn
svlvania when it and several other
American and British warships en-
gagged part of the German grand fleet,
when the Pennsylvania was hit in eight
places and blown up. .,
Knapp admitted he invented the
story. which always included ms
miraculous escape from death and the
loss of his years of savings while a
sailor. solely to wheedle money from
credulous hearers.
