"According to information from newspapers, a fireman has been arrested on the English cruiser _Foxhound_. If that is Kr's nephew, then it is certain he was dragged into it through the carelessness and stupidity of Kr. Perhaps you can get into communication with K., but by all means be cautious. If my suspicions are correct, then Kr. will be watched. Above all--caution. Should you have an opportunity to speak to him then ask him at the same time respecting a certain Schmidt he once recommended to me. He [Kruger] must be cautious, and especially show no address. That is to say, only go there when you know there is no danger to you. I mean, he must not start speaking German to you in the presence of others. Please let me hear something soon." Mr Bodkin explained that Ireland of the _Foxhound_ was a nephew of a man named Kruger, who took the name of Ireland when he joined the Navy. Another letter addressed to the prisoner from Potsdam, and dated February 11, 1912, contained the following: "Many thanks for your valuable letter. In future it will be done so. Do you also desire that the letters I send you be sent `care of'? Please reply to me as to this. Please deliver at once enclosed letter addressed to Kronan. Expenses please charge. Best greetings.--St" A letter sent to the prisoner for reposting was addressed to "H. Graves, Esq, B.M., B.Sc., 23, Craiglea Drive, Morningside, Edinburgh," and in this were three five-pound Bank of England notes. On March 7, 1912, Steinhauer signed his name in full, and enclosed 100 marks, requesting Ernst to obtain for him a copy of a London daily paper, which contained a detailed article on espionage, published a little time before the close of the Stewart espionage case. Copies of the letters sent through Ernst to "Mrs Parrott, Alexandra Road, Sheerness," and to "H. Graves," at Edinburgh and later at Glasgow, were put in as evidence, but these were not read in court. One of Graves's letters was enclosed in an envelope which bore the name of a well-known firm of chemical and drug manufacturers, as detailed in the evidence at the trial of Graves. Mr Bodkin, commenting on this, said that the envelope was probably stolen. On March 23 "St" (Steinhauer) wrote from Potsdam to Ernst: "K. has excited himself for nothing. The youth is free. I will tell you the story orally next time." Mr Bodkin remarked, by way of explanation, that the youth Ireland had been discharged.
