WAS HIRED TO GET
PROBST TO EUROPE
Detective Says Rolling Rock
Club Agreed to Pay
Buffers Expenses.
BROKE FROM HIS GUARD
} Not Until Then Was Com
plant Made to Immigra-
ton Authorities.

The man TO whom the Rolling Rock
Club of Pittsburgh entrusted the task
OF getting August Probst. the unwel-
come Swiss butler out OF the United
States was Edmund Leigh. director OF
the National Intelligence Plant Protec-
ton Service, which has agencies here
and in six other cities. Leigh whose
connection with the alleged railroad
ing' of the young butler has been kept
secret, explained yesterday how the
plans for getting Probst out OF the
country failed.
Probst is at Ellis Island. waiting the
outcome OF board OF inquiry to de-
tcr1nine whether az a deeerter from a
ship he has a right TO remain In the
United States. The inquiry probably
will get under way to-day. Probst his
friends and his attorney. Bernard III.
Sander. claim that the members OF the
Rolling Rock Club tried to railroad
him because the daughter of a club
member had fallen love with him. One
OF the friends who told yesterday of
the alleged improper attempt to get
the butler out of the country was Max
Zimmerman, an architect, who lives at
SO West 122d street. His version OF
how Probst was kept IN this city, while
agreeing with that of Leigh as to dates,
is at variance In other particulars.
The "BOnehead Play
Leigh said he was notified on Thurs
day. February %, that Probst believed
to be insane. was on his way to New
York with Gail. manager of the club.
Leigh, with one of his men. went to
Philadelphia and Joined Gail and Probst.
On the way here, he said. Probst called
him aside and said he was afraid of
being taken to Ellis Island because he
had deserted from a ship last June and
would be deported.
The butler. according to Leigh. never
was under restraint. They came to
New York that night. The next day.
Leigh said, Probst told him that he had
500 and that he wanted to book passage
on the Cedric. which was to sail Satur-
day. Leigh communicated with the Roll
ing Rock Club and it was agreed that
Prcbsts expenses should be paid. not
only to England, but to Bern, Switzer-
land.
THAT later proved to be bonehea q
Play on my part" said Leigh. but the
handling of the case had been left UP
TO my judgment and that seemed the
best way to do it,
Leigh said that before Prohst had
agreed to leave he had asked Gall what
witnesses could be produced to prove
that Probst was insane. Gall said that
he, as manager of the club, would
testify that three charnhe-rraids at the

Ter also would tell their stories.
On Friday night. the evening before
Probst was to sail. Leigh took him 10
his own home in West Thirty-fifth
street There, he said. Probst had the
run OF the house and amused himself
by playing the monograph, the piano
and by telling OF the wonderful attrac-
tiveness OF the mountain men OF
Switzerland. Leigh said he gave
Probst an overcoat and several other
need them on the voyage.
Swiss Consul Interferes.
At the White Star pier the next day
Probst broke away from Leigh and
two detectives. A fe wminutes later
Charles Fehlman. the Swiss Consul.
came up with Zimmerman and said that
the butler was entitled to the protec-
ton OF the Swiss Government. That
night Probst stayed at Zimmerman's
home. and the next day he went TO
Trenton to the home of a Swiss jeweler.
I'VE were keeping him under sur
Vigilance all the time" said Mr.: Leigh.
"and It looked like he was heading
back for Pittsburgh
1t then became apparent, according
to Mr.. Leigh, that the immigration
authorities would have to be notified.
This was done, a warrant obtained, and
an immigration inspector accompanied
Leigh and detectives to the house in
Trenton. They brought Probst back TO
Ellis Island. and he was held there
until habeas corpus proceedings we're
brought last week.
1t developed yesterday that Probst.
while being brought here from Pitts
burgh. sent a telegram to Zimmerman
asking him to meet him at the station.
Zimmerman was at the station. and
saw Probst come off the train with
Leigh and the detectives. but he did
not interfere because the butler nodded
