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
York for an alleged passport fraud, it had
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.

Interest was shown today In additional de
tails regarding the contents of the docu
ments taken from Captain von Papen,

were made to Paul Koenig, the Hamburg
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.

nine weeks to make the trip across the

Madison, Wis., and later took up their
residence at Norway Grove, Wis.
The next move was. to Amdahl, Fill
more county, Minnesota, where they
lived four years. In the year 1875 the

Renville county, Minnesota, the trip be
ing made by ox team. After plodding
