JAPAN STARTS
COUNTER SPY
REPORTS
u. S. Ignores Naval
Officer Linked to
Harry Thompson
international News Service

Japan was seen here today as
seeking to start little American
spy scare story of its own to off
set the California espionage case.
Tokyo reports that two Amer
lean institutions in Japan were
suspected of harboring spies were
regarded as Japan's answer to
the conviction in Los Angeles Of
Harry T. Thompson, former
American seaman, on charges Of
selling American naval secrets to
a japanese naval intelligence Of
ficer. Thompson was sentenced
to Is years imprisonment.
American officials here were in
clined to laugh off the idea that
the two American institutions in
Japan-St. PaulS Episcopal Uni
versity and st. Luke's Hospital
had harbored American spies.
The japanese government has
said nothing to this Government
about the matter and the State
OCPdA Gu1CAlO h4u 4lOO d11O1OlkopC
any official word from Tokyo
on it.
The view prevailed privately
that Japan merely was endeavor-
ing to offset in the minds of the
japanese public the prominence
given in the American press to
the activities of Japanese spies
in this country.
AS for the japanese naval Of
ficer to whom Thompson allegedly
sold naval secrets, the State De-
partment did not plan to create
any diplomatic incident by taking
the matter up with Tokyo. The
officer is understood to have re-
turned to Japan. If he was still
here, he would be requested to
quietly leave the country without
delay. He is unlikely to be per-
mitted to enter this country again,
but that is as much as the State
Department will do about it.

The Washington times., 1936-03-13

My musings were cut short at
that point as the outer door
opened, admitting the officer and
a cringing Hymn. He slumped into
the chair recently vacated by
Mrs. Sardoni. He looked exactly
as I had imagined he would from
the newspaper description, but de-
cidedly SpiritleSS. He shrank back
from the officer who brought him
in and looked with quick, fear
full glanceS at the other men.
There were one or two bruises
on his face and a small bandage
over one eye.
I couldn't see the others, but
the inspector was partially in my
line Of vision, as he had been
earlier. He looked very different,
hard, almost cruel. His voice was
exceedingly harsh.
"Now, Hymn, we want the facts,
Answer with the truth and you
won't get hurt. We are not 60
ing over everything, but we want
to have you tell us again what
you saw when you tried to see
Miss Sinclair that night-October
2Oth."
Hymn was silent, huddled in his
chair.
''You decided to see Miss Sin
clair to ask her to help you out
with Mrs. Sardoni. That right?"
Hymn nodded.
''Talk!"

"You came UP to her floor first
at z o'clock by the back stairs.
As you opened the stair door,

II saw Miss Sass and Miss
Whelton talking to Miss Sinclair
In her doorway"
"The women you mention live

"No. She was inside. I hear
her say. NO. I am sorry"
THAT is all?"

"You are sure of that?"

boss, I sure"
He had some of the soft, slid
ing accent Of the Oriental, but
his language was good, except for
some confusion with verbs and
their lenses.

was the next question.

across the desk.

"Come clean!"
Hymn shrank to the edge Of his
chair. His voice was shaking again
IT tell you I don't listen! I don't
know! He was awful mad and he
shout. I go away quick
O'Brien sat down again. "You
came up once more. When?"
about 9, think"
"In your first statement you
said. you came up three times
about 9:15 or $50 the last time
and found her dead"
'That is true, boss"
"But now you say you were up
at 9. Make up your mind!"
"I came UP at 9, but she busy"

that?"

Sinclair'S often"
O'Brien sat up on top Of his
desk. The little Filipino crouched
lower in his chair. The inspector
chewed on the end of his cigar
and held Hymns gaze fast to his
own
'Now-get-this," he spoke
slowly. IT want you 20 tell me all
you know about this man."
"He come often. He leave with
book or something when see him.
But I do not see him go usually,
My room is in the basement and
I stay there in evening. The man

night and she open it. She invite
him in. He smile, take off his hat
and go in. The door close behind

in Mr.. Perkins,"
If I had not held on to my chair
tightly when Hymn said Mr.. Per.
kins was the late visitor that
awful night, I am afraid I should
have Screeched. This information
sort of confirmed the hunch I had
had from the beginning about the
book, and I began to feel rather
cocky.
Hymn was dismissed, and I was
allowed to appear from the closet.

What do you think of them now?'
OBrien was asking me! I took
time to think before I answered.
"Well," I said slowly, II think
Mrs. Sardoni talks an awful lot,
but she seems to want to help. I
just can't get over Mr.. Perkins
being there that night. You don't
suppose he could have had any

OBrien shook his head. "You

thing is certain: he hasn't played
