Official Asked to
Explain Spy Story
u. s. Attorney Calls for
Light on Statement ID
Germans Were Executed
Assertion Reiterated
C.. S. Thompson Says Informal
ton Came From Unim-
peachable Sources

c. S. Thompson. member of the ex-
ecutive committee of the American De-
fence Society. has been invited to ap-
pear to-day before John c. Knox, Assist
ant United States Attorney, at the Fed
eral Building, to explain his statements
that fourteen spies have been shot and
that 100000 rounds Of ammunition
had been allowed to go .ut Of this port
for Germany by way of Copenhagen.
Both statements were made on
Thursday. the first by Mr. Thompson
personally, the second in the form of
n letter sent by the Defence Society to
Senator George f. Chamberlain. for
which, however. Mr.. Thompson assumed
full respons ibiity.
When MIR. Knox called Mr.. Thompson
on the telephone last night. the latter
amended his statement about the am
munition by saying he was informed
.he deadly cargo had been placed on
board two steamships, but had been
taken off again before they sailed.
Reiterates Spy Statement
AS for the spy shooting, Mr.. Thomp-
son stoutly maintained Yesterday that
his information came from absolutely
unimpeachable sources. He refused,
however, to divulge the nature of this
source, but promised later to tell facts
bearing out the statement.
Among the things Mr.. Knox will
question the American Defence official
about this morning is wry Mr.. Thomp-
son did not instantly civulge his in

Crowd Causes Arrest
OF ro-German alker
leuton-American Boasted Here
That u. S. Did Not Have
Chance to Win

Arthur p. Gerlach, who says he is
an American citizen of German birth,
went into a cafe in the financial dis
trlct yesterday and said cxultingly to
an cmploye:
"Gcrmany is going to win the war.
What's the good Of the United States
going over there She hasn't chance. /"
An angry crowd gathered about Ger
lach, who delianty continued his pro-
German talk.
"1 have two sons in uniform. and
you can't say anything like that around
here SAID the cmploye .Gcrlach had
addressed.
"And | havo u son in the aviation
corps" added another.
"Well, the Germans will get them
all!' Gcrlach is said to have shouted.
He was arrested
At the Federal Building, where he
was taken before Assistant United
States Attorney Knox, he said he had
come here from Germany when he was
one and half years old. had married
here and had returned to the Father
land in 1903. A year ago, when the
German authorities planned to place
him in the military service, he left
his wife and two children in Germany
and came here. He was sent to Ellis

formation to the Department of Justice

formation to the Department Of justice
or other government officials.
After getting in touch with George
r. Lamb. Of the searching squad Of the
Custom House, Mr.. Knox said that he
had been informed Federal officials
knew all about the incident referred to
My Mr.. Thompson.
Mr.. Thompson, according to Attorney
Knox. will be taken to task for severe
criticism OF the Department of Justice
for alleged laxity. based on the muni-
tions story.
II will ask Mr. Thompson to give me
the source of his information in both
cases. said Mr. Knox last night. "lf
he refuses l will bring him before a
grand jury and put him under oath.
Anyone else who declares himself in
Federal authorities ought to have will
be asked to appear before me also
In affirming his spy shooting story
yesterday, Mr. Thompson said:
81 am not surprised if the War De-
partment has no knowledge of the
shootings. A lack of information about
military affairs is not an unusual char
acterstc of the department. Any per-
son who has observed the discrepancies
of fact between the War Departments
claims and Senator Chambcrlain's evil
dcncc knows that the War Department
is not always correctly Informed con-
corning military affairs"
Referring to the denial of the De-
partment of Justice. Mr.. Thompson
said "While the denial says The De-
partment Of Justice tries all cases
against spies and violators Of any Fed
eraf statute publicly and makes no at
tempt to suppress the result the de-
partment does not succeed in suppress
ing its reasons for permitting enemy
aliens to roam about the country at
will"
Mr.. Thompson attributed the official
censorship of such shootngs to a de-
sire on the part of the Administration
to conduct "gentlcmanly war" with
out antagonizing the German born in
America. He said he personally and
the American Defence Society believe
the announcement of the death penalty
as the fate for fourteen spies would
have wholesome effect on others who
may be operating in the United States.

since his arrest nearly month ago.
Then his counsel, opening fire in
cross-cxamination upon the govern
mcnts announced intention to prove
that Hennig had tamperod with vari-
Gus other delicate gyroscopc parts,
draw forth the following admissions:
That at least before November 12
finished material at the Bliss plant
went through both the governments
before it reached Hennig.
That small parts OF gyroscope ball
bearings, like buttons" frequently
were found split or fractured long
after inspection. due to chemical reac-
tIons following the hardening process
undergone by the steel.
That this hardening process was now
subject to experiment to overcome this
tendency.
That lIcnnig himself had turned
back 1000 broken "buttons" that prcvi-
government and company inspectors.
No Threat by Navy Man
But an attempt by Mr.. Wing to show
that Lieutenant Shea had declared an
intention "to get the Bochc" failed
"Didn't Shea say to you: I'll have
Hennig up before d firing squad,'" he
demanded Of Il. j. IIornbergcr, an
ordnance inspector who worked with
the naval officer before the arrest was
made.
"No, SIR replied the witness, che
did not"
Edward Williams, who said no had
been in charge Of the company inspec

llcnng is alleged TO have committed
the overt act of treason, appeared as a
witness. Tie said he had held up a
shipment of torpedocs because lTcnnig

Lieutenant Frank l.. Shea, Of Ahe navy,
whose Investigations brought about the
indictment Of the naturalizcd German,
will testify Monday, and by Tuesday
night it is expected that the jury will
have agreed on verdict in the first
treason case produced by this war.
Hcnnig gained the first point with
out struggle as soon as the trial
began, when w. A. Franco, United
States District Attorney for Brook
lyn. admitted in his opening address
that the government was not prepared
to prove that the defendant had tam

l-4O00th Of an inch was allowed foi

wns under Hennig's supervision. After
the finishing, he said, the parts were
sent to the inspection rooms and then
were stored in the stock room, from
which men under Hennig's direction
took them to assemble the gyroscopes

that buttons" and other parts fre-

months after inspection, Williams said
that the hardening process mad been

Mr. lIornbcrger testified that the
boxes were brought into the room
where. the government inspectors
worked, and set on the floor, to have re-
mnined until the following day.

The witness was asked to search his

"No."
Have you a key?"
"Ycs."
"Ary one clsc?'
"Machinist's Mate Bray answered
the Witness but he could not remember
whether Bray WAS in the inspection
room when the boxes arrived, or wheth
or he or Bray had opened the room
next morning.
Mr.. Hornberger, on cross-examina-
tion, also admitted that there was a
