The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-06-20

Officials of the Remington Arms Co. allude to the story printed in the morning papers as weird" and ex press doubt as to the correctness of some of the statements attributed both to federal officials or their pris- oners. They point to the fact that they have not been approached by any federal official with reference to the matter, and the only news they have of the whole affair was in the daily newspapers.
 One official said: Upon investiga- ton it was found that the reports as printed in the New York papers and copied by the Connecticut morning papers were vague, misleading, and in all cases showed a tendency to throw the blame for the disappear ance of the plans and parts upon the officials of Bridgeport and distract attention from other parts of the country where no doubt, when the final analysis has been made, it will be found that the trio got away with the plans from plant outside of Bridgeport
 The Remington people laid special stress upon the admission alleged to be made by New York officials to the effect that in order to obtain the mass of drawings, parts and specifications which were found packed in trunks and suit cases in the apartment occu- pied by G. L. Lindquist, Lea Burt and Ernest Frank at 76 West 94th street New York, the men must have work ed for years in hundreds of different | plants throughout the country. Several addresses were reported to the local officials as having been the residing places of the men while they were supposed to have been ir Bridgeport, and in each and every one of the places the men were to- tally unknown. This coupled witt the statement that the men must have worked in many plants to obtain any thing near the information they were found to have, proves the correctnes: of the claim made by the Remington people that it would be an utter i'm possibility for any one or group 0. persons to get a complete drawing O. the gun, as all plans and drawings O the parts are kept in carefully guard ed places widely separated.
 Another thing which the local au thorities call attention to is the fac that the three men are being held il only 5000 bond, while if the govern ment thought the case anything neai as serious as some newspapers woulC
 have it believed, the bond would b, easily five times that amount

ITALIANS WEN COMPLETE

Italian Army Headquarters, Wednesday, June 19-(By the Associated Press) - The Ital- ians have won, complete control of the air along the Piave line, where the most determined fighting of the recent Austrian offensive is in progress. This afternoon not a single Austrian machine was aloft on this front.
 Realization that the Austrian offen- sive has failed is spurring the Italian troops to desperate resistance along the Piave. Heavy fighting continued today around the Montel1o plateau on the north and near San Dona di Piave on the south.

H. Suckley, when seen today had nothing to report on the matter, and merely stated that while he was in charge of the Bridgeport police mili- tary squad which was in constant touch with the Department of Jus tice, the matter under discussion was out of his jurisdiction, but that he took an interest in it to the extent of making a thorough investigation, and so far has been unable to find any trace of either of the three men, or anyone answering their description being in Bridgeport, much less work ing at one of the principal intuition shops
 Department of Justice Agent Charles H. Lane, refused to discuss the matter, and stated that as far as he was aware the records in Bridge port failed to show any trace of either one of the trio ever working in this city or vicinity.
 In discussing the matter Agent Lane said: T have been very much interested in the bill which came up before the State legislature last fall to make it a felony for anyone to work in a munition plant under an assumed name. The matter seems to have been dropped, but I believe the federal authorities will have such a l ruling in force soon.
