Change of Reserve From Germany Attache Charged With Conspiracy
Federal authorities investigate a statement by counsel for German naval reservist Richard Stegler alleging Captain Boy-Ed, naval attache in Washington, funneled an American passport to Carl Hans Lody, the German spy. Boy-Ed calls the allegation trash. Stegler’s statements are corroborated by Mrs Stegler. Franconia expected to reach Liverpool soon as Stegler’s plan to go to England collapses and payments to Mrs Stegler are discussed. Captain Boy-Ed denies the charges and says Stegler’s travel funds were offered in good will. The case heads to a federal grand jury with Roger B Wood promising thorough pursuit.
