The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-30
(Continued from Yesterday. )

The first of the two men I had no difficulty in recognizing as one of those who had tricked me into believ- ing them to be in our service. l felt like springing at him and strang ling him. but he gazed at me so steadily and in such self-confident way that I felt cowed, and remained seated. He spoke and his words sounded like my death-knen-'
 "'We have reason to think you are a German, and that you have come to this country for an unlawful pur- pose,' was what he said. We want you to explain your movements dur ing the last few weeks l think you have seen me before and need hard ly point out to you that it would be best to tell the whole truth.
 There was in the easygoing cool ness of the man that which cowed me down more than ever, and with a despairing cry I rose from my breakfast, and signed that I was ready to go wherever he wanted to take me-"
 without another word we left the building and I knew that I should never return. I was taken to a room at the War Office and there I was questioned by g. number of men have never been so subjected to questioning as on that occa sion, and I felt that it was impossible for me to stand the strain. I knew I should break down under the persistent quesA tioning, and I dreaded the resunnp- ton, which was fixed for two days later.
 Tt was terrible the way they had made up a case against me. They found me out in the simplest details, until I feared to answer any question lest I should only incriminate my self. They met my denial that I had been in Ireland by producing copies of my signature in the hotel register stt Dublin.
 They also produced a letter that I had written to the Irish Laborist who had denounced me. They did not say at first that it was my let ter, but merely asked me if I had seen it before.
 At first I said I had not, but re- aIized that it was useless to deny it, and was stammering out a rnodifica- ton of the statement, when they asked me to write few lines on pa per. wrote what they dictated, and that by that time my nerves
 were so unstrung that I did not know
 I was writing words from the letter they had in their hands. They con- fronted me with the two sheets, and asked me triumphantly what had to say. What could say? I just
 gave 1t up, and here I am.''
 I believe it was shortly after this that Kuperfelde decided to take his own life.
 The facts of his suicide are plain and simple. He was left as usual in of+ 1ipI c a warder on duty just outside the door, and the cell was under observa- ton. In the darkness the man seems to have torn up sheets and other ma terials to make a rope, which he af- rewards adjusted to the iron bars of the cell grating. When he had done that he raised himself on his stool ! and hanging himself by fastening the improvised rope around his neck, | and then kicking the stool away. Death was not instantaneous, prob ! ably because the thing was so clums- fly done, and the poor man must i have endured agony for the four or five minutes he appears to have lived | after kicking the stool away. Preparations for Invasion. l Kuperfelde spent a great deal of his time studying the defences ot London, and was engaged on the preparation of details of the anti aircraft defences, though at that time they were very unimportant in- deed It was clear from the trouble he took to unearth field works and gun positions around London that his employers counted on being able to invade England before the war was over. I said to Kuperfelde that | thought he had been rather foolish l to give time to the collection of this | material.
 That may be-" he replied, I am | inclined now to agree with you, be- cause I know better what is being | done to meet anything Germany may | attempt. But I know that our mil itary chiefs are determined to try in- | vasion. They think they can sue ceed in reaching London, and they | only await a favorable opportunity tc
 engage your fleet while the troops are
 being landed. They have sent me in | structions to be particular about the ] London defences, for they wish te( be
 able to master them when they
 march on London.
 "I have also prepared for them | plans of suitable positions for oul | guns around London. That also | was asked to supply, and I was giver | a Spec1al course oA U c]iiAhS eo Pio prepare for the difficult work of rec | ognizing suitable positions for guns | It is more than five years since it wa:
