Indictments Hit Sacremento Neutrality Case
Forty one indictments were returned by a federal grand jury in the Sacramento neutrality case. Key figures include F. Von Papen, former military attache at the German embassy in Washington, and several San Francisco shipping men. The case ties German agents to bribe schemes with China and Japan and Hindu revolutionary plots amid wartime tensions. Damaging documents linked Von Papen’s aide to plots against Britain and to broader German efforts in India and Ireland. Red Cross adds new Athens members with modest donations.
