Paper Quotes kazi Spy
As Saying He SET Fire
To Liner Normandie
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-The
French-language newspaper, France
Amerique, says a Nazi spy, now be-
ing held in Germany on murder
charge, has admitted responsibility
for the fire that turned the French
luxury liner Normandie into a
flame e-ravaged hulk as 1t lay at its
pier here on February 9, 1912.
The newspaper, which said it OBJ
tanned its material from sources
both here and abroad, quoted the
spy as saying he gave orders to for

time, the 83,423-ton liner was being
converted for troop transport duty
The story was written by the
papers news editor, G. F. Estran-

The blaze was touched off, France

lamps to ignite kapok lifebelts
spotted at strategic points about
the ship.
Rumors of sabotage ran rampant
after the fire but Manhattan Dis

a welder's torch and said there was
no evidence of sabotage.

the following story "in effect" to an
