widow of Hugo Reisinger, OF New

into the case which resulted in the ar
rest of the two titled men and two
women. and Presidential orders for
their deportation to Europe asNalleged
spies.
A photograph showing AIRS. Refs
niger in a friendly pose with Count
Robert de Clairmont, one OF the four
alleged spies, was the cause OF her
name being brought into the case.
The photograph was taken in Fifth
avenue studio and Is posed in the
same manner as the published photo
graph OF the Count and Nine. Eliza
beth Charlotte Mix, who has admitted
receiving $1,000 from former German
Ambassador Won Bernstorn.
Mrs. Reisinger seemed greatly per-
turbed when informed that q photo
graph OF herself and Count De Clar-
mont was in the hands OF Department
Of Justice officials. but she explained
how she had met the count and how
greatly astonished she had been. to
learn Of his. arrest and the charges
against him.
al was horrified to learn that Count
De Clairmont had been arrested"
said Mrs. Reisinger. "He was q
charming man who enjoyed the
highest connections. He was a close
friend OF General Radiquet. a hero of
the Marine. and introduced me to him
last summer. I am firmly convinced
the Government has made q mistake
in arresting him.
81 was at the photographers one
afternoon having my picture taken
when the count came in. He insist
cd on being taken with me and al
though 1 protested 1t did no good. He
sat close beside me and said he would
keep the picture always. Now I
realize that It was an imprudent
thing for me to do"
81 liked the count very much and often
went to dinner and to dances with him.
and he came to my home frequently.
Never did he say anything to me about
espionage. and never suspected him Of
such a thing. He always appeared to be
a patriotic Frenchman. heart and soul
for France. never asked him why he
did not go back to fight for France"
Mrs. Reisinger admitted having met
Nine. Nix. who was introduced to her
by the count: but recently. she said.
he told her she must have nothing
further to do with Nine. Nix

tered the war. Government officers. in

FRESH WEAKNESS
IN CORN MARKET

CHICAGO, May 17.-Selling on the
part Of leading commission houses In
duced fresh weakness today in the
corn market. The bearish effects OF
peace discussions in the British house
of commons appeared to have grown
rather than diminished over night. In
addition. bulls were handicapped by
assertions that present stocks OF corn
and the current movement would be
more than sufficient to meet all do
mestic requirements. Opening prices,
which varied from unchanged figures
to sc higher. with May $1.27A to
$1.27A@H, and July $1.41R to $1.42s.
were followed by decided break,
which carried July we'll below yester-
days finish.
Reports of welcome rains In Ne
braska and Kansas gave an advantage
to the bears in oats. The weakness
of corn, however, was the main de-
pressing influences. After opening Il
to &c lower the market rallied little
but then again sagged.
Tigher quotations on hogs made pro-
visions advance. Liberal allotment OF
government contracts tended also to
stimulate an upturn in values.
