BRITAIN SEALS
SPIES PAPERS
On NAPOLEON


LONDON, Aug. Is. UP)-Secrets
of Great Britain's espionage net
work in the days of the Napoleonic
wars are believed to have narrowly
escaped being revealed for the first
time in Sotheby's sale rooms in
London
Their probable publication was
prevented when the foreign office
unexpectedly gave warning that the
document in which the secrets are
believed to be contained would be
liable TO confiscatiNl under the Of
ficial secrets act. AS a result, there
is considerable likelihood that they
may be taken to the United States
for sale
The documents are a part of the
papers of Lord Stuart de Rothesay,
British ambassador in Paris early
in the 10Th century, and belong to
the Earl of Abingdon, who was
offering the entire lot for auction.
They include a series of So let
ters from the Duke Of Wellington
to Stuart Gle Rothesay between
1914 and 1880, chiefly dealing with
France after the fall of Napoleon;
correspondence Of great Importance
between Stuart and Admiral Lord
Berkeley chief commander on the
Portuguese coast from 1910 to 1872;
official letters and dispatches
from Portugal 1810-13"; and let
ters from Lord Nelson and the Duke
of wellington.
Foreign Office InterVenes
All these papers were withdrawn
from sale as a result OF the inter
vention Of the foreign office 1t is
understood that the reason for the
Intervention was that the foreign
office is anxious to prevent docu-
ments regarded as of state impor-
tance from passing from hand to
hand, with the risk that all trace
may be. lost of them.
Lord Abingdon stated that as a
result of the unexpected holdup of
the sale in London he might be
forced to send the documents to the
United States for auction.
In modern times the secret pa
pers of all British ENJOYS abroad
pass automatically into the hands
Of the foreign office. After GER
tain lapse of time they are placed
in the public record office, where
they are on view to students. The
public has access to documents
from 1885 backward. Some docu-
ments of a particularly confiden-
tial nature, however, are not sent
to the record office or else are kept
under seal.
Any references to the British in
telligence system, however old they
may be, are withheld from students
if they give the names Of British
spies and their organizations
abroad. This rule holds good even
if everyone mentioned has been
dead for a century or more. Among
documents sealed in this way are
some giving details of the use made
of Indians in Canada and the prices
paid by the British government in
the distant past for enemy Scalps.

ATTORNEY REVEALS
FEES BY GANGSTER
Lawyer Says Duffy Posted 500
Weekly Retainer to Avoid
"Mulcting.'
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, March ia
lawyers testimony that Mickey
Duffy, slain gang chief, paid him 500
week to represent friends in court
yesterday marked the close of the first
phase of the Philadelphia Bar As
sociation's inquiry into alleged links
between gangdom and members of the
bar.
Arthur Werblun, one of eight at
torneys cited for ''unprofeSsional con-
duct" said Duffy paid the money mot
to care for underlings" but to avoid
being ''mulcted" by "lot of people"
Werblun testified in his own defense
at hearing before the five president
judges of the county courts. Not q
criminal proceeding, the inquiry re-
suited from a court order to show
why the eight attorneys should not
be disciplined.
Asked why the firms books did not
show the Duffy payments, Werblun
said that during a fit of anger he
tore out the pages.
