FEDERAL Case
IS DISMISSED
Action Against Alleged
Seditionist Dropped by
Commissioner Hopkins

United States Commissioner r. E..
Hopkins dismissed the action Of the
government against Kasper f. Wrede
at the examination of the defendant
held in Minot Friday afternoon.
Wrede was arrested by a federal
officer last week charged with sedi-
ton following an alleged assertion
that German aeroplanes were su-
perior to those of the allies and that
Finland would do better under Ger
man rule than Russian.
When taken into custody he stated
that he was an aviation instructor
and the purpose of his trip to North
Dakota was to assist a resident of
the slope country perfect an aero
plane. The arrest was made at Ken
mare.
Following the dismissing of the
action, Wfede told officials that he in
tended to leave at once for New York
city and take passage to Sweden.
Letters found upon him proved that
he was a nobleman and seemingly
had access to considerable money in
eastern banks. He had about $500 in
possession when the arrest was
made.
