LIEUTENANT DENIES
KNOWLEDGE OF PLAN
TO SEIZE BERGDOLL
Says Presence OF Prince
Gagarin Merely Co.
incidence.
by the Associated Press.

Mosbacil. Germany. Aug. IS. -
Hoover Griffis ana Victor Nelson at
their preliminary hearing yesterday
in connection with the recent attempt
to kidnap Grover Cleveland Bergdoll,
the American draft evader, denied any
knowledge Of such an attempt. One
point brought out by Griffis was that
at the time of his arrest the gasoline
tank of his automobile was nearly
empty, which statement was verified
by the police who confiscated the car.
The authorities contend the plan
was TO carry off Bergdoll to Paris, but
Griffis maintained there was scarcely
enough gasoline in the tank to carry
him to Heidelberg, where be intended
to spend the night.
That Prince Gagarin, who was ar
rested with Griffis and Nielsen was
in the automobile at the time was ex-
planned as merely coincidence. Grit
fis declared that he and Nielsen were
passing through Eberbach Friday
night and became confused because
there were no lights and they were not
familiar with the highway. They
stopped a moment to inquire the way
to Heidelberg when Prince Gagarin
came along and volunteered to guide
them to the edge of Eberbach and put
them on the right road,
Griffis denied knowledge either Of
Karl Schmidt, who was killed in the
alleged attempt TO kidnap Bergdoll,
or Roger Sperber. an American resi-
dent of Paris, who was wounded.
According to the authorities an
American army lieutenant's uniform
was found among Griffis' effects, but
be explained he was wearing civilian
clothes as he did not care to don the
uniform in Germany.
The authorities have not yet con-
fronted Griffis, Nielsen or Prince Ga
garin with the statement of Sperber
in which the wounded man accuses
Griffis of having engineered the al
legged plot.

IN LOCKHART AS BIG
CROWD LOOKS ON
Many San Antonians Wit
ness Hooded Men
March.

Lockhart, Tex, Aug. Is.-With the
exception Of the crowd that was pres
ent at the home coming celebration
held here for the soldiers from the
World War, the spectators here FRI
day night TO witness the parade of the
Knights Of the Ku Klux Khan was
the largest ever seen in Lockhart.
Cars began arriving from every d.
rection early in the afternoon and by
early candlelight the town was mass
of automobiles. Austin, San Marcos,
Luling and San Antonio with a good
ly number from Gonzales and Yoa-
KUN were here in large numbers.
The long line of hooded men march
ing solemnly made their appearance
on the west end of San Antonio street
and passed around the public square.
Numbers Of the order delivered talks
and explained the object and purposes
of the order. No disturbance of any
kind was reported.
1t is estimated that there are more
than 1000 members of the order in
Caldwell county and with the parade
held here following the returning Of
y indictments by the grand jury
most of which were for violating the
state liquor laws is creating much
comment.

Street Car Patrons Know Him
Long Service With Traction Company Brings
Many Friends.

James J. Hay entered the employ
of the San Antonio Public Service
Company seventeen years ago. He
was born in Robertson county, Texas,
in 1878 and came to San Antonio in
1906 to 60 to work for the street rail-
way company.
Mr.. Hay is an operative on the Col
Inns Garden line and likes it because
>there is not so much traffic out that
way. He was a conductor for sixteen
years, nine of which were spent in
an unbroken run on the old S. z. and
I.-G. n. depot line. He has run on
all the lines in the city and likes the
Hot Wells line because people out
that way "move faster" than those on
some other lines, he says.
Mr.. Hay lives with his family at
215 Sandoval street. He has bought
and paid for a residence since he
entered the employ of the company
and spends most of his spare time at
home. He is especially fond Of hunt
ing and has been on hunting trips to
the Rio Grande and among the hills.
He has made many friends on his
routes and no enemies that he knows
about. Passengers are so friendly and
considerable that they make his work
very agreeable. He also says that the
Public Service Company has the best
officials that can be. found any
where.

c. Bascom Slemp Expected

tall, dark and distinguished looking,

FLOGGED WITH WET ROPE
Texans Body Blackened by Band Of
Unmasked Kidnapers.

Wichita Falls, Tex. Aug. 1S.-In-
vestigation, authorized from the state
executive offices at Austin into the
severe flogging Of Lonnie Davis. was
anxiously awaited today by Y. W.
Davis, brother of the stricken victim
and by his father, an elderly farm
er.
Davis, stripped of his clothing, was
beaten with wet rope by five UNI
masked men late Wednesday night.
his skin torn open In number of
places, and his body blackened by
welts and decorations.
: After remaining a day at the coun-
~ hospital at Iowa Park, ten miles
from here, Davis showed no improve
ment and was transferred to the gen.
eral hospital here yesterday. Today
his condition is critical.
According to his own story, he had
just returned from an automobile
ride arriving in Iowa Park about 10
o'clock Wednesday night.
Meets City Marshal.
He said he met Hamp Love, city
marshal of Iowa Park and got into
the latter's car and went to garage.
Davis said Love went inside to put
up the car while he waited outside.
While the officer was inside the
garage, Davis said five unmasked
men drove IN in car, placed n sack
over his head and drove out of town
at high speed.
Davis said that when they had
driven a few miles out on lonely
road the men ordered him to get out
of the automobile. They then order

him on the ground, and pelted him
with the wet rope. He did not
recognize any of his assailanCs.
Friends Arm Themselves.
Armed with shot guns, farmer

passed many open comments as to
what would happen if the kidnapers
were found, Iowa Park peace Off
GERS today reported. Sheriff Muir
ply and his deputies went 10 Iowa
Park last night and started an in

LETTER FROM SYDNEY CAR.
TON TO JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT

I confess, old chap, I read poor
little Paula's letter, which you sent
me without any comment, with tears
in my eyes.
/ never thought she had so much
soul, but I guess that is where most
of us make a mistake in regard TO
the women whom we kiss and leave.
We are so apt to simply divide the
feminine sex int two classes, good
or bad, and / have almost come to the
conclusion that all women are good
and bad. They are just, human
after all. exactly as we are. Jack.
1t seems to re that we should get
over the old theory that there is n
part of us which no good woman
can satisfy. Nowadays men are not
beasts, although / expect when YOU
read poor little Paula's letter YOU
felt yourself one. Anyway, We have
outgrown the cave man and why
should the rest of the tradition, that
it takes both an angel and a devil
to make a man perfectly happy, still
linger?
I'm not so sure, Jack. that il you
had married Paula Perier, she would
not have made you happier than
Leslie. Leslie is too good for you
