THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 4, 1917.
RELEASE PASTOR
; HELD ON CHARGE
OF DISLOYALTY
Rev. William Breitenbach, Chi
r cago; Minister Accused of
Pro-German Utterances,
I ' Convinces Authorities.
Rev. William Breitenbach, pastor
of St Peter's Evangelical church, 130
Avenue L, Chicago, was released by
Assistant United States Attorney
Saxton after a hearing Saturday
morning on a charge of making dis
loyal utterances.
The minister was arrested at the
Union 'station here Friday night as
he was boarding a train for Chicago.
The arrest followed an argument
which he had with three men on a
train coming fron. Chadron to
Omaha Thursday night. One of the
men became so excited that he tele
graphed to Marshall Flynn here,
"Meet Union Pacific train arriving
Omaha 7:30 Friday morning without
fail."
The marshal received the telegram
at midnight. He called up Deputy
Marshal Grant Yates and ordered
him to meet the train. Yates was
there, but by the time the three men
had found him the minister had gone
upon his ,way, ignorant of the fact
that he was wanted.
The three men stayed in Omaha
all day and accompanied the deputy
marshal to the hotels in an attempt
to find the. minister. They sjhad
learned that he would leave for Chi
cago Friday morning, They were at
the station with Yates and there
found Rev. Mr. Breitenbach. He was
arrested and placed in the county jail,
where, he remained until Saturday
morning.
"I am a completely loyal citizen of
this country," lie said to the United
State s attorney. "But when I heard
these three men discussing the atroci
ties 'of the German" soldiers I joined
ht and told them that no doubt some
soldiers cltist in all armies who com
mit" acts of atrocity just as there are
certain low persons in civil life who
commit such acts. But it is unjust
to tondemn whole armies for the
actl of a few individuals."
