charged with espionage and is being
held under $4,000 bail, have become

riddled with Hun shrapnel, bears silent
testimony OF an actual clash with a
German submarine.
Otis. it is alleged. tempered with the
mechanism which controls the trans
ports course in the submarine zone.
1t is charged also that he ran the
American flag upside down and that he
reported a false reading of the car
