_A._ I commenced to discriminate the soldiers and make them out as to what they really were, and I found them a lot of rats. I saw that I was not a Britisher in my ideas, and that I favored the cause of Germany. I used to stay away from the other soldiers all I could, and go out with a newspaper and read in the fields. They were always bullyragging me, and one time I almost killed two soldiers for it. They chastised me for a German spy. I got away, and worked in Bath for a week, and then the police caught me and brought me back, and I was later discharged by my colonel when I explained that I could not agree with their theory of the war.... (_From the statement of “Schiller” to Corell_) A few months ago I received a letter from my mother and she wanted me to go back to Russia. I came down to New York to get my passport, but it did not arrive, so I waited a month. My money was gradually going down, so I borrowed some money, I won’t say from whom....” (_From the examination of Hodson_) _Q._ While in Lawrence, Mass., where did you stop? _A._ At the Saxsonia House, with Germans.... _Q._ What are the names of any other people that you met at the Saxsonia House? _A._ Met a gentleman named Gruenwald at a German party. He invited me to come to his saloon in Lawrence.... _Q._ While up in his saloon was there anybody else you were acquainted with there? _A._ Nobody, but I knew a young lady who stopped at the same house.... _Q._ You were quite friendly with her? _A._ Yes, platonic friendship. _Q._ Did she loan you any money? _A._ She loaned me money from her own will. Two hundred dollars.... I only asked for $30, but she brought $200 in gold, all in gold.... _Q._ How long after that before she loaned you any more? _A._ About a month later.... Telegraphed to her “Want money immediately.” I received by 12 o’clock $40. She said some more money coming tonight. Next morning I went to the address in Hoboken and there was a letter and there was another $40 in the letter. Then I received $10 another time from her. _Q._ That’s $290. _A._ Yes, all I can think of. (_From the “Schiller” statement_) ... so I borrowed some money, I won’t say from whom. I went to Boston again and was looking for work. I could not get the work I wanted, so I returned to New York, and in Hoboken I ran across a few fellows, I do not know their names, and we made a plan to get some money.... (_From the Hodson examination_) _Q._ Now where did you meet the Germans?
