According to the embassy account a it
was said, 2,000 was paid to von Papen
within a few days after the explosion at
Vanceboro to defray expenses In con
nection with the defense of Horn, a Ger
man citizen.
It also was intimated at the embassy

Hans Adam von Wedlll, Indicted in New

been to assist him legally. Von Wedlll
fled after being indicted.
Officials of the 8tate department have
Indicated that It was Important to know
whether the payment to Horn waa made
before or after the explosion. German
officials had repeatedly denied responsi
bility for the action of Horn, saying they
never had heard of him until after he
had been arrested. State department of
ficials have intimated that if they would
prove Horn had received money from a
German source before he blew up the
bridge, it might result in diplomatic cor
respondence with Berlin.

American line official tried in New York
for conspiracy and to von Wedlll. In
Teutonic diplomatic circles, no attempt
will be made to deny that such payments
had been made. Koenig, It was pointed
out, was "was engaged In detective work"
and It was to be expected that he would
be paid.

The next move was. to Amdahl, Fill
more county, Minnesota, where they

ing made by ox team. After plodding
