Marks Explains Situations
Further investigation of the article
published in this column yesterday
concerning Paul Marks, a German
alien. of West Main street, throws
new light on the situation and shows
that the stories concerning the prin-
cipa1 have been exaggerated. Marks
stated today that he had declined to
invest in American Liberty Bonds but
he denied that he hal been solicited
by Lewis Brastow. In this respect he
is ccrroborated by .Brastow, who says
he does not know the man and never
asked him to help raise Plainville's
quota. Marks denies that he, was
arrested by an officer of the depart
ment of justice but that he was
taken to Hartford in order that the
authorities might explain to him the
exact terms of the permit which al
low him, as an enemy allen. GER
tain amount Of liberty, Under the
terms Of his permit he is allowed to
II avel between his nome and the
Hills factory, where he is employed.
a short time ago, desiring to 4pur-
chase provisions for his home, he
strayed away from the limits pre-.
scribed by his permit and it was for
that offense he was taken to Hart
ford and impressed with the serious4
ness OF repeated actions. Marks also
denies that he ever expressed the de-
sire to see Germany victorious In the
war and he Is zorro borated in- this
statement also by Brastow. atasa
