Letter to Girl Led to Player's Undoing
An article notes that Dr Karl Muck’s downfall followed an intercepted letter to a Black Bay society girl. He was arrested and faced detention or trial as an enemy alien, later visiting Providence where the Star Spangled Banner dispute drew official scrutiny. The case sparked nationwide anger and prompted a Justice Department inquiry led by the Attorney General with help from patriotic musicians. The investigation linked a Black Bay district singer to Muck, enough to justify government action.
