Poie Goes on Trial for Spying
Manchester May 10 Seidel A Pain charged with spying was accused by Court today of attempting to obtain secret information about the ROA. The defendant, Marian Kaczmarek 40, went on trial on sight charges of violating official secrets. Prosecutor Robey said Kaczmarek worked for a spy ring headed by Major Kajdy, the Polish embassy military attache in London. The Major was described as a foreign agent. The defense noted Kajdy is listed as military attache at the embassy during World War I. Robey said the spy tried to learn numbers and types of U.S. aircraft and air fields used by the U.S. forces in Western England and sought information on possible underground air fields in Scotland. Kaczmarek was arrested April 20 after police fed incriminating evidence in one of his shoes.
