How Citizens Aid FBI in Nabbing Naz Prisoners

at the nearest town, turned over the
brawny Scouts to the authorities-two
more escaped German prisoners of war
recaptured through civilian alertness.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover says
the Nations citizens and law-enforce-
ment agencies are performing a bang

A Striking Record
Thanks to this civilian aIterness and
local law enforcement officer co-opera-
ton, only about a dozen of nearly $50
escaped Axis soldiers and sailors are
still at large. Not one of the missing
ones. as far as is known, has succeeded
in returning to his homeland.
Military authorities are charged with
the responsibility of keeping prisoners of
war in detention. The recapture of es-
capped prisoners, however, is the job Of
the FBI.
Here are a few additional examples
of civilian participation in captures
which the Nations FBI chief selected

was attached to the Mexican Legation
in Washington.
The career of Emperor Iturbide I was
a spectacular one, though unfortunate
for him, was ended quite suddenly. BY
1916, through his valor and capacity,
he had risen from obscurity to the
command OF what was then the North
ern Army, and finally to usurp the
crown. But, detection becoming gen.
eral among the officers of the army.
he was obliged to surrender his power
and therefore rendered his abdication
Of the throne.
The Congress allowed him a yearly
pension of $25,000 on condition of his
leaving the Mexican territory forever,
and he soon embarked for Leghorn.
But later, disregarding the decree of
perpetual Punishment against him, re-
turned to Mexico in disguise, was dis
covered and was shot on July 10, 1924.
The next incident in the episode
begins with the coming to Mexico of
Macmillan in 1864, where he was not
any too warmly received. The mar
riage of MaXimilian and his wife Car
lotta, it seems had not been blessed
with offspring and that, among the
children of the deceased Emperor 1tur-
bide was Don Angel de Iturbide. the
husband of Dona Alicia, or, more plain
ly, Alice Green Iturbide.
They had one child, boy at this
time only ~ years old, who, so the
story goes on to say: WAS bright, in
teresting, and already public favorite.
During the summer following Maxi
milians arrival the elder members of
the Iturbide family had received notice
from Maximilian that they must leave
Mexico No reason for this extraordi-
nary demand was assigned, and it was
disregarded. Aside from the injustice,
to which they were not disposed to sub
init, the Iturbides had no resources save
the money owing them by the Mexican
government-the remains of a pension
awarded the family at the time of
their fathers death, and upon the
revenues of which they we're entirely
dependent. They allowed it TO be un-
derstood, however, that if Maximilian
would guarantee their pension and pay
up arrears, they would go.
Required Hostages
I'm progress of time Macmillan
changed his policy, and instead of
driving all the Iturbides out of the
country, he determined to make them
give hostages for their good behavior
He proposed to confer upon the child
of Dona Alicia and upon its cousin
(then a lad Of 16) the rank and title
of princes, to charge himself with their
education, which should be suited to
their proposed rank, and to make a
suitable allowance to all of the elder
branches of the family who-save q
maiden aunt Josefa, who was to remain
at the palace with the infant chill
dren-should leave their country, and
never return to 1t without the per-
mission Of the Emperor

suasion of her husbands family and

appeal to william H. Seward, then
Secretary of State, who took the matter
up with the American Legation in Paris,
in the following letter:
Department of State.
Washington, 9Th November, 1865.
MY dear sir: I append copy of a
letter Of the Sd instant from Mrs. Alice
G. Iturbide, marked confidential and
of my reply of the 4th instant, in regard
to the detention of her infant child
in Mexico without her consent, and to
her desire to have him restored to her
care and guardianship.
Without entering into the questions
raised in the letter of Mrs. Iturbide, I
must request you informally to lend
your good of1ices toward aiding that
lady in the accomplishment OF her
object, so far as it can be done without
injury to the dignity or rights of this
Government.

An interview was arranged, and other
fruitless interviews followed during the
two years Nine. Iturbides son had been
kept from her, until finally, shortly
before Maximilians execution, he had
her son restored to her in Havana, Cuba.
Subsequently he was placed under the

ceed in getting-they walked smack into
a detachment of maneuvering soldiers.
Wanted to See Sights
Hoover says a number of escaped
prisoners were motivated. apparently,
only by desire to see the sights Of
nearby towns. They were captured in
communities close to prison camps or
apprehended while walking back to con-
flnement.
One prisoner was hailed by a woman
who asked him to help fix a stove. He
complied and then wandered on. Told
later that her congenial helper had been
an escaped prisoner of war, the woman n
replied that she didn't care about that
as long as her stove was repaired.
Some Have Cash
Recaptured prisoners occasionally have
been found to have small amounts of
United States currency. One escapee
told the FBI he had sold francs to an
American soldier in Africa at a reduced
rate Of exchange so that he would have
some cash when he got to America.
Others who worked in laundries on
military reservations said they collected
change left in the clothing Of military
personnel.
Unconcerned and at peace with the
world was Ferdinand -the-bull sort of
character apprehended in Iowa. He
walked up to an individual in front OF a
pool hall, announced he was an escaped
prisoner Of war. While police were being
called he made himself comfortable in
the pool hall-burying his nose from
time to time in bunch OF wild flowers
he had picked.
