spy activities in front Of him; merely
made an appointment to meet else
where.
Soon afterwards, Chaser admitted,
Rumrich told him he had been in
structed to get the plans of the forti-
f1cations Of New York Harbor and
the secret United States coast de-
fense and mobilization plans. Some
time later Rumrich conf1ded that the
orders were to lure Col. E. T. Elgin
to a New York hotel room with the
plans, overpower him ard steal the
plans. Glaser told me Rumrich
asked his aid, and that he agreed.
1T sounded goofy to me-" Chaser told
me, "but I figured Rumrich was
smart and knew what he was doing,
and besides, the higher-ups in Ger
many must know what they were
doing"
That plan, of course, was not quite
ready by the time Rumrich was
nabbed.
Tells Of Passport Plot.
Then Rumrich told him OF the
plot to get the American passport
blanks, which the Nazi spy ring
wanted to use to get Nazi spies safely
into Russia and other foreign coun-
tries. Rumrich wanted Glaser to
help on that, and Chaser agreed. But
when the appointed day came Glaser
was ordered by his superior officers
to report to the Mitchell Field Hos
pital for injections and he didn't

dare disobey. If it hadn't been for
that 1t probably would have been
Rumrich's stooge, CHASER, who would
have been caught instead Of Rum
rich.
Glaser admitted that once Rum
rich came to see him at Mitchell Field
and that he showed him around and
took him into the hangers and shops.
He admitted that he gave Rum
rich, at Rumrich's later home, two
typewriter pages copied from the
restricted code book at Mitchell Field
He admitted that Rumrich said that
was worth money and that he would
sell 1t to the Nazi spy ring and split
with CHASER.
What he gave Rumrich was not
strictly merely code. It was also
the procedure for simplifying the
transmission Of messages. The code
known as the ~" code-and pro-
cedure are restricted to the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps and were
prepared by the Signal Corps Of the
United States Navy.
Glaser denied he got anything
else for Rumrich, or contemplated
getting anything else.
But let's get on to the other let
ters-and to far bigger game in this
Nazi spy plot.

as told to
DAVID 6. WITELS

Erich CHASER was implicated in the
plot.
Anyway, after Jenni so easily de-
coded the letters for us despite her
long denial that she knew how,
had Rumrich brought in. While he
stood by her, she dictated her con-
fession, in German. Whenever she
faltered. Rumrich stepped into the
breach.
Glaser Is Picked Up.
Then we went over to Mitchell
Field and picked up Glaser. He
made no protest, soldier that he was,
but went right along like a man
under orders. At ONCE he at first
haltingly and most amateurishly de-
MED everything. But when we con-
fronted him with Rumrich, he shook
his head in bewilderment and in
dicated his willingness to do what
ever Rumrich advised.
'The game is up," Rumrich told
him. you might as we'll sign a
statement, Erich. I'm sorry I got
you into this"
Glaser is a handsome lad Of %,
6 feet tall and husky, with dark
brown hair and dark eyes. He was
born in Leipzig, Germany. and ar
rived in New York on the steamship
Dresden in March, 1880. In July,
1881, he entered the End Field Artil-
lery.
When his three years were up in
1884, he decided to try his luck in
the civilian world again and ar
ranged to get his discharge in New
York July 10. 1884. But the depres-
sion was still on; the few dollars
he had went swiftly and the next
month he was glad enough to re-
enlist. When his hitch was up In
August, 1887, he turned his back on
the Army and went to New York for
the swell job his pal, Rumrich, had
waiting for him.
But there wasn't any job waiting
Rumrich said there was a slight
delay. but pretty soon everything
would be fixed up and CHASER could

Schulter had mentioned once but
had never elaborated upon. And

orders from American industry re-
garding naval matters" is Greek to
him.
The first paragraph Of Schluter's

PIONEER MINER, WHO SHOT THREE, TAKES OWN LIFE
Body of A. A. McCandless Found Near Cabin on
 Greensboro Creek

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. B. The body of A. A. McCandless, who shot and wounded three miners on Greensboro Creek last week, was found yesterday with the head blown off. He had left suicide note addressed to his wife and daughter. A coroner's jury brought in a verdict of suicide. The body was taken to Ruby where it will be held awaiting instructions from relatives.
 The body was found several hun dred feet from the McCandless cabin on Greensboro Creek near where he shot the three men. R. L. Squire, most seriously wounded of the three, is now improving in the hospital here and probably is out of danger, it was stated. The widow is now in Fairbanks.
 According to reports, McCandless had leased his mining claims on Greensboro Greek to the Long Creek Mining Company, which had been working them, but notified him on the day of the shooting they had decided to close down. McCandless is said to have gone to the mess house of the company and said, now I'll settle up" and started shooting. He struck Squire, Hans Tilleson and John Koski, the latter two not seriously. He dis appeared for several days but Sun- day officers with a warrant for his arrest found the body.
 McCandless, one of the old timers of the Interior, was 69 years old and had been in the north since 98.
