Spy Story of Accused
 Captain Proves Myth

Arrested recently on a charge of embedding $6,000 of his company funds at the time he deserted fifteen days after the Armistice, John Will CTS. formerly captain of Company I, Sth Infantry, told intelligence off cers at Governors Island, N. Y.. a spy story that riyaled the widest hc- tion of the war period.
 Willers asserted that he twas no ordinary thief and that while he was in command of his company at Camp Sevier. s. C., he really was an agent of the German government one of 300 cadets sent by the former Kaiser to this country to bore into the American Army. He also said that it had been his intention to send his command to slaughter if the op- portunity offered on the Western front. Under questioning Willers later admitted that his spy story was a myth.
 Wil1ers will undergo court-martial trial on the charge of having embez- zled the money belonging to the men of his company. His arrest followed his identification in a New York e1e- vator by a former lieutenant of his command
