Police CHIEF OF
NAMPA TURNS over
GERMAN SUSPECT
Man Giving Many Names
and Telling Conflicting
Stories of His Actions
Held in Boise.

Eampa. Dec. 20.-In the opinion OF
Chief of Police Larry Maloney, of this
city, Paul Roloff, the German arrested
by him and delivered to the federal
authorities of Boise last evening Is a
spy of marked intelligence and deep
cunning. To the police department h }
gave as many as nine different names,
among which We're Otto Winenberg
John Rudolph, Robert Hall and Rou-
ert Ross.
In his possession was.a magnifying
glass Of high power and a chart of
drawing, representative of some I'M
known places which had been plated.
He stated finally to the chief that ae
had been a sailor in the German navy,
that he had come to this country be-
fore the expiration of his term of ser
vice, that later he returned to Ger
many, was arrested and was imprison-
ed for six months, that he still later
escaped on a Danish vessel, the name
of which he refused to give, and landed
in New York last August.
ADMITS HE is GERMAN.
From New York he said he went to
Chicago. where he was employed in an
iron factory until he came west. For Il
time he was in salt Lake, but came
to this city from Pocatello. He repre-
sented to the local police that he was Il
Swiss, but later claimed Russia as
the land of his nativity. Finally. how
ever, he confessed that he was n Ger
man. From the beginning Chief Ma
loney suspected his nationality and
upon his inability to produce his regis
tration papers. Chief Maloney rigidly
interrogatcd him.
