belle the statement, was arrested
here Sunday night late by Ofdcers
Blackwelder and Brinkle ar the
Frank Stone house on Mangum. ave-
hue where he roomed. From photo
graphs and other information the
man was traced here from the north
west. He gave his name as Isadore
TrzeciakieWicz. About three weeks
ago he came to High Point and has
been working at the Continental
Furniture Co. He approached two
citizens who he thought were Of the
brotherhood aRd offered to give
them 500 each if they would burn
the Giant Furniture Co. s plant. This
plant is manufacturing aerdpIane
parts for the i. S. government hese
loyal citizens who were Interested to
the extent Gf getting information !,
asked for the money Whereupon they
were told that the German govern.
ment would pay them after the Ere.
The warrant which vas sworn out
by a special sagent of the erIl-
ment, read, For violation q 8 g. J,
Title 1, for wiffully makiR false
reports or statements with inls TO
hinder the operation or success Of
military dr>naval forces of the Init
ed States while at war" also9 vio-
lation of Sec. 2 of the SabboE 3 act
in attempting to destroy by Ire or
otherwise war premises, etc
The man is 28 years of az very
intellectual aud eVidently from b
well-to. do German family froI the
looks of his photograph, thop bis
present condition does not les in
his makeup as a 'GerHlaI spy
When confronted with evid nee he
lost his nervezapsl made con
fiicting statements; said he was a
member Of the Red Cross and hand
ed out card Gall spies have such
dope) and upon the card was Ger
man name (his right name, no
doub) which he finalIy admitted
was written by a man here. To an
officer he said that there was a Ger
man spy in every town where there
was a factory working for the gov
ernment, that he worked at several
other towns before locating the fac
tory here. Speaking of the army he
stated he would willingly sacrifice
his life to disrupt the army; that ev-
erything possible would be done to
disrupt the effectiveness of the gov
eminent in the war and other things
which would do no good to state
here.
Officer Blackwelder says he spent
some time in Germany and Russia
and knows that the man is Ger
man with his dat and dis pro-
nunciation and general appearance
The two citizens, L. B. Smith and
o. C.. Hadden, were invited to the
woods Sunday where the fellow told
Of his plans and the offer made to
them to Durh the Giant factory. One
of the party under ruse of writiog
letter slipped behind log and in
stead took down the conversation
between the German and the other
member of the party and produced
it in court Monday.
Commissioner Brown tried the
case and placed a $5 900 bond over
him. Monday evening the start was
made to Greensboro. The man was
placed in the easy-going ji5ney. but
when a crowd gathered and assumed
an angry disposition he was placed
in high-powered machine, probab-
ly timely move.
An officer asked him Sunday night
what |. w. w. stood for and he i'm
mediately said, Inter national War
Workers" and then quickly scratch
ing his head said. no, it stands for
-, l forgot" Anyway it is known
that he is member of that organi-
cation and is a dangerous man.
The fellow Grogan who escaped
the meshes of the law here recently
was of his same kind. There are a
few others here similar to these
devils who should be cooped or dealt
with as best suits their case.
Then there are a feW-GOd only
knows what they are-who are op-
posed to war, not willing to help
their government that is protecting
them and their household; simply as
immovable as rocks and have the
everlasting condemnation of all 10y
