Emerged more
American intrigue,
With plots to
destroy commerce.
To result in
arrest warrants; one
For A German
Cavalry Captain
Baron G. Wilhelm
von Brincken.
The Federal issue
had emerged
From the Crowley
case - accused
In securing funds,
for destruction
Of Allied munitions
ships - likely
Aleister Crowley,
occultist and
A writer for the
fatherland paper.
Robert Capelle
was also targeted
For arrest; North
German Lloyd line
Agent, believed
as a witness in
Violations of US
neutrality, by
Agents of Germany
- a belief was
Capelle took
refuge in California.
Likely to be
aboard the Ottawa,
A German boat off
Sausalito,
Within the San
Francisco Bay.
A ploy to avoid
his arrest had
Made by Captain
von Brincken.
The claim on
Friday 3 December
That he was
German consulate
Attaché, yet
later Washington
Advised the fact
would not
Protect, him even
if he held post -
Hours later Brincken
surrendered.
The Captain was
not detained
Though, as he was
released
On bail for
$10,000 - the case
Was seen to
reflect the Buenz
New York case, in
German
Acts of supplying
their ships.
