SHIP PURSER ARRESTED
ASA GERMAN AGENT
Charged With Smuggling Bonds and
Coupons to Be Cashed in
This Country.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, February 10
Johannes Hendrix Werkhoven, assist
ant purser on the Holland-American
liner Nieuw Amsterdam, has been ar
rested here under the trading with the
enemy act. He is said to have con-
fessed he had brought to this country
for redemption bonds and coupons own
ed in Europe. He was held in $1,000
bail for further examination.
Army intelligence officers thave been
puzzled as to the manner in which Sc
curities known to belong to Germans
residing abroad have been brought to
the United States and converted into
cash. The arrest of Werkhoven, who
was trapped while negotiating the sale
of $500 United Fruit Company bond,
is believed to clear up the mystery.
Werkhoven is said to have admitted
he has been making large profits by
bringing to this country and cashing
bonds and coupons, which, he said. We're
owned by friends in Holland" He de-
MED having had any dealings with
Germans and said bond he tried to
sell Yesterday was obtained from Cor
nelius Hederhooven, a Hollander, at
Rotterdam.
Besides this bond, Werkhoven is
claimed to have surrendered coupons
worth $1,000 which he brought from
Europe on his last trip on the Nieuw
Amsterdam.
Werkhoven, it is said. told Of his
method of avoiding detection during
the search of his ship by government
agents. The securities he had brought
with him we'll concealed, he said, in a
cigar box on board the liner.
