WARSAW, Dec. 22.Wolfe Linden
field, alias William Linde, who is held
in jail here on four charges, chief of
which involves his supposed knowledge
OF the Wall Street bomb explosion,
has implicated SIN other men and two
women in the Communist plot that
caused that disaster, according TO Syl-
vester Cosgroye, agent of the United
| States Department OF Justice.
One OF the women is under arrest
in WARSAW, it is said. She is reported
| to have assumed the name OF Rosa
LuxemDurg. Cosgrove refused to give
the names of any Of the others ac-
cused, but he asserted that one Of the
men lived in Berlin, one III Mannheim
and one in London. He announced his
intention of going to those places and
arresting them.
Despite the fact that Cosgrovc in
sigts that he has obtained full CON
/ fessions from Lindenfeid and that
these give details of the preparation
of the bomb and OF its explosion, the
whole matter continues to be shrouded
in much secrscy and considerable mys-
terry that have aroused some suspicion.
In Jewish circles in Warsaw to- -day y
the cry was raised that Lindenfeld is
not Communist at ali and that his
arrest is merely part of Polish anti
Semitic plot. The charges against Lin
denfeld on the police blotter-asidc
from the Wall Street affair-are es-
pionage, spreading Communist propa-
! ganda and practising fraud. The final
! charge grew out of an allegation that
he tried to defraud his landlord.
Efforts so break through the secrecy
veil that surrounds Lindcpfeld have
been unsuccessful. The prisoner is
held absolutely incomunicado. Re-
brother and sister to see him have
been frustrated. The Polish police are
as adamant as Cosgroye himself in
their refusal to make public the text
( of Lindenfelds supposed confession.
Cosgrove appears not ready yet to
ask for Lindenfeid's extradition TO the
United States, although the Polish gov
/ eminent has expressed it's willingness
! to let him 60, even in the absence of
an extradition treaty between Poland
and the United States.
Yearned to Return to u. s.
For long time prior to Cosgrove's
arrival in Poland Lindenfeld had been
ehafnc under the restric rictions put on
y
turn to the United States. When one
day he received letter from a friend
in New York saying that Cosgrove was
going to Warsaw, Lindenfeld was de-
lighted, because he had known Cos
grove in America and believed he could
get the agent to help him return to
New York He referred to Cosgrove
as "My good friend, one of my best
friends in the labor movement in New
York
Cosgrove and Lindenfeld greeted
each other warmly when they first met
The agent was Ii guest several times al
the home of Lindenfeld's parents Lin
denfeld's brother, describing suose-
quent events, said.
Zone day, after William had returned
from short trip. he and my sister
and I went to Briston to see Cosgrove.
My sister waited in the lobby while we
went UP to Cosgrove's room, where we
met him, and the three of US then re-
turned to the lobby. While we were
talking with MY sister DR.. Paul Alter
dorf of the United States Secret
Servicel and a Polish police agent
rushed forward and seized William.
William in his astonishment cried out:
'Mr. Cosgrove.' But Cosgrove doubled
his fists and struck William two fierce
blows in the face, knocking him w
against the WALL
