Wireless plant at Fifth Avenue home alarms Secret Service
A wireless receiving station claimed to pick up messages from Germany operated on the roof of Mrs. Hugo Reisinger’s home at 908 Fifth Avenue opposite the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Mrs. Reisinger admitted the plant’s existence to Secret Service agents who traced German operators to the building. She denied knowledge and ordered dismantling after learning of the setup. The case links to prewar coded messages from Berlin to Count von Bernstorff and highlights ties of the Reisinger family to German diplomats and art patronage.
