fore United States Commissioner Wal
ter II. Cleary in Newport yesterday
and held in 81, 900 bonds each for their
appearance at the next session of

charge preferred against them by
Inspector James G. Ford, of the United

The hearing before Commissioner
Cleary Sunday marked the culmina-
ton or carefully planned and exc
cuted plot to smuggle into the United
states by way OF Canada three Syrians
who are technically enemy aliens of
this country. since the trio came from
a part of Syria which until recently
was under the jurisdiction OF the Tur-
kish empire. One of the trio fought on
the side of the Turks during the
World War. When apprehended they
had travelled as far as Plymouth

Boston.
James c. Ford chief inspector at
Newport. returned to Newport Satur-
day morning with the five Syrians and
caused them to be incarcerated in the
county jail. thus concluding q bit of
detective work which even surpassed
in cleverness the intricate plot of the
allen enemies to gain admission into
this country.
According to the story told Commits
sioner Cleary at the hearing yesterday
the trio of aliens went to Marseilles.
