Of ListoniA, Ga, an early settler OF

cumulated considerable wealth.
The Cordele Dispatch stated that
when he bought his land, he issued a
check for $4,000 on Fahmont bank,

Cover-the Activities During
Past Sixteen Years
TELLS WHO MADE BOMB
Says Plot Was Financed In
Moscow With Motive to
Kill j. p. Morgan
[Associated Press Dispatch.I )

k<AOOS~A1SCo A<AofoS<>i"I
Warsaw, December 1s.-Wolfe Lin
denfeld alias William Lnde, arrested
here at the instance Of the American
secret service for alleged connection
with the Wall street bomb explosion Of
September, 1920 has made three writ
ten statements to the police, one OF
which, in English, covers his activi-
ties for the last sixteen years.
Sylvester Cosgrove, the operative
who brought about Lndenfeld's arrest,
yesterday cabled the American de
partment Of justice the name of
of blacksmith, who according to Lin
denfeld, manufactured the bomb and
engineered the details Of the explo-
sion.
Cosgrove declares that Lindenfelds
confession corroborates mis- previous
statement that the plot was financed
to kill ]. P. Morgan, striking terror
into America and showing the world
that Wall street was not beyond de-
iance. CAT the time OF the explosion
Mr.. Morgan was in Engiand.)
Polish Authorities Interested
The Polish authorities are particu
lariy interested in Lndenfed's Rus
sian connections in 1906. They claim
that he was then active In the Polish
social democratic party opposing Rus
sian rule, but that he turned traitor
to the Poles, joining the Russian sec
ret service. and working against the
Polish revolutionaries. These activ
tiles on his part became so wide
spread that eventually they were ex
posed, and he fed to America.
Lndenfeld's statement, regarding
his movements since March of this
year, now in the hands Of the Polish
political police, Is said to show that
he has been working against the Poles
again, this time in cooperation with
the Russian communists.
On behalf of Lindenfeld, his friends
say he lived humbly with his father
while in this city, and they discount
the Polish accusation that he was in
volved in espionage plots.
