Spy Confession

NEW YORK, Nov. l. (UP)-A
defense lawyer at the trial of three
alleged Nazi spies charged today
that departments of justice agents
had coerced Otto Voss, employe OF
the Seversky airplane company OF
Farmingdale, N Y, to "confessing'
that he had given the spies secret
information on United States mill
tary planes.
Reed Vetterli. who resigned a few
months ago as head Of the New
York office of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation was on the witness
stand when Voss' statement was
read. In it, Voss admitted that he
had served as a spy under orders
of Capt. Lieut.. Erich Pfeiffer's
agents in this country with infor-
nation on training and pursuit
planes that the Seversky company
was building for the army.
Voss' lawyer, CharlesW. Philipbar,

he would show, in cross examining
Vetterli, that it was not given
voluntarily.
