the contract price for all submarines
built by the Krupps or under their
plans. For more than ten years he
worked as q submarine engineer for
the Krnpps and Mt Kiel and Fiume, and
is credited with having made fortune
of $800,000 in that time.
Immediately on the outbreak Of the
war d'Ecquevilley, with magnificent in
science, returned to France and sought
naturalization as a French subject. He
went before the magistrate Of the XVII
ACCOMPLISHMENT of Paris, who knew
presented his papers. They showed
that the Spaniard's father, Toussiant
Vincent Victor d'Ecquevilley. was born
French, but lost his French citizenship
by taking military service in Spain in
1885 TO support this he had his
fathers birth certificate, that of his
grandfather and a document showing
his fathers military service in Spain.
D'Ecqueyilley did not have his own
birth certificate, but presented in its
place certificate from the Spanish
Consulate in Paris, dated August 7, 1914
There were some very evident erasures
on the birth certificate of the father
and the certificate from the Spanish
Consulate had no value under French
law, but the credulous magistrate
made no question and twcnty-four
later d'Ecpevilley was a French citizen.
The next thing he was in the military
automobile service in Paris and began
again to make friends in high places,
trusting in eleven years of absence
to make him forgotten. He seems to
have been successful, for in February,
1915, the cx-engineer for Krupps was
chosen by the Ministry of War to head
secret mission to England. But the
English had not forgotten him, and he
was sent back to France without delay.
Still, his friends in high places served

France Seiizes Spanish Marquis
As German Spy After II Years
Now Neghbor of Callaux in Prison in Paris Accused OF
Stealing Submarine Pans-Was Long Protected
by Powerful Personages

Lusignan and made the acquaintance
of M. Laubnuf, who was then working
on his plans for a submersible vessel.
D'Ecquevilley became hugely Interested
in the submarine boat problem, and
sought the acquaintance of M. Goubet,
who was also working on submarines.
His work in Toulon was sought in
order to keep him in closer touch with
all the submarine developments.
Meanwhile he was busily making
friends in the Ministry of Marine, and
in 1901 there suddenly and most un-
expectedly appeared in France book
by the Marquis d'Ecquevilley that
quoted from the secret documents of
developments of the submarine prob
lem. At this time the Spaniard found
it convenient to make another trip to
Germany, but he was back again the
next year, and in 1903 the plans for
the Aigrette, the first French subma-
rine, invented by Laubnuf, disap-
peared from the French Ministry Of
Marine. The plans of the Goubet
disappeared at the same time.
Submarine Plans Stolen
Two years later, in 1905, the first
German submarine was launched from
the Germania yards at Kiel and
d'Ecquevilley was proclaimed as the
inventor. =.
Amiral Hautefeuille, who investi-
gated the case in 1908 and 1905, be-
lieves the Spaniard had the help of a
dissolute French naval officer in steal
ing the plans. He said:
"D'Ecquevilley about 1903 was close
friends with French naval officer who
had been dismissed from the service
because Of his drinking. But this
man was very highly connected and still
had entree, day and night, to the Min
istry of Marine. BY reason of his
habits this officer was constantly IN need
of money, and he took advantage OF the
case with which he could enter the min
istry to take from drawer in the Of
fees of the Navy General Staff the plans
of the Aigrette and the Goubet, giving
them to d'Ecquevilley to sell to the
Krupps.
at goes without saying that the
money received for the plans was di-
vided between the two men. The thefts
in the Ministry of Marine went on from
1900 to 1908. Generally the papers re-
appeared at the end of three or four
weeks, after they had been copied in
Germany.
"The French officer came to tragic
end, which looked very much like sui
eide. AS matter of fact, he knew he
was under suspicion. D'Ecquevilley, on
the contrary, continued his career of
adventurer."
It is believed that the Spaniard re-
ceived $4,000 in cash for the submarine

The Ne,D York Tribune


The newest neighbor of M. Caillaux
in the "spy corridor" of the prison OF
the Sante in Paris is the ostensible
inventor of the German submarine
systematic Marquis d'Ecquevilley,
Spanish subject, engineer for the
Krupps and naturalized Frenchman. He
had apparently been actively engaged
in the spy business for twenty-seven
years, but his career came to an
abrupt end on April %, when he was
arrested and thrown into prison.
Fifteen years ago he was accused Of
stealing the plans for the submarine
from France and selling them to Ger
many, yet he had the audacity to re-
turn to France in 1914, Immediately
after the outbreak Of the war, seek
naturalization as Frenchman, and
enter the French army in position
that gave him little to do but plenty
of opportunity to learn lot about
what was going on.
This man of superb impudence went
to France from Spain in 1891 and ap-
parently was perfectly good Spaniard,
for he had the influence Of the Spanish
Embassy in Paris in entering the gov
ernment school for marine engineer
ing. On his graduation his markings
were 800 points below those of the
man next above him. yet ten years
later he claimed to have invented the
submarine. All things are within the
range of possibility, but no one who
went to school with d'Ecquevilley could
credit him with inventing anything
except plausible story.
Ousted, Goes to Germany
After graduating from the engineer
ing school 'Ecquevilley got employ
ment with the establishment of the
Forges'et Chantiers de la Mediterranee.
but in 1895 was dismissed on suspicion
OF having turned certain contracts to
the Vulcan works of Stettin. The sus-
picion was confirmed in the minds of
his French employers when the young
man went at once to Germany and got
employment at the Vulcan works. He
remained in this position for two years
and then began a period of two years.
