Reveal spies in arrest of Frisco banker
San Francisco January 1 A search of George Coden former manager of the foreign department of a San Francisco bank yielded evidence leading to his arrest as a dangerous alien enemy. The investigation also exposed Germans and pro Germans in the Bay region and details of their activities. Coden was held in county jail awaiting internment. The Berkeley home of Hoden was raided two months earlier after ties with German diplomats returning from China. The government charges say Coden acted as fiscal agent for Germany and received $500 monthly from the German Imperial Bank in addition to his salary from the San Francisco bank. He allegedly financed German agents and supplied Wilhelm Strasse with military information. He came to San Francisco from New York after being ordered out of Japan in 1935.
