COUPLE FROM U.S.
HELD IN FRANCE
Subject to All Manner of In
decencies Before They
Secure Their Release
Paris. (Correspondence of The As
sociated Press). Difficulties for
Americans traveling on the Continent
are increasing:. Walter Morse Rum
mol, the American composer and pi
anist who has been living for many
years in Paris, and his wife, formerly
Therese Chaigneau, a French pianist,
were arrested at Dieppe recently, sus
pected of being spies.
They were returning home from
London where professional engage
ments called them. They had submit
ted their papers to the French Con
sulate General in London and had re
ceived a safe conduct to Paris. Thev
had an American passport and a per
sonal letter from Mr. Thackara, the
Consul General. They were searched
Rfter their arrest at Dieppe. Al
though nothing suspicious was found
they were detained in a hotel over
night. The next morning Rummel
was taken by gendarmes through the
streets, followed by children calling
out that he was a German. Both he
and his wife were locked up in prison
until the next morning. Rummel's
cell companions were two persons ac
cused of theft.
Mr. and Mrs. Rummel were trans
ferred by train to Rouen, imprisoned
there in cells, the floors of which were
covered with filth and the walls with
obscene drawings. They were there
six hours before being able to buy a
piece of stale bread and a piece of
cheese. Rummel's fellow prisoner was
on Apache who confided to him that
he had just stabbed a woman. Rum
mel had at every stage of his ex
periences explained who he was and
demanded that the authorities should
Inquire at the American Embassy in
Paris. Luckily he had been able to
•send a telegram to the Consul General
In Paris before being interned. He
und his wife were released therefore
after forty-eight hours detention al
together, upon representations of the
American Consul in Rouen.
Mr. Rummel's father and grand
father were' British. Tiis mother was
the daughter of S. F. B. Morse, the
Inventor of the telegraph; Rummel
happened to have been born in Berlin
during a period when his father was
there on business. He was registered
ns British-born at the British Consu
late. His parents went to America
when he was three years old. After
the death of his father his mother
Resumed American citizenship. Young
Rummel was entitled to take his
mother's nationality and did so. The
circumstances that he was born in
Berlin appears to have drawn upon
him the suspicion that he was Ger
knan.
The American Embassy has gone
fully into the affair and lias made rep
resentations to the Foreign Office
upon tbe indignities Mr. and Mrs.
Rummel suffered. They have spent
most of their time since the war be-
B'an in hospital and other charitable
work in France, particularly in or
ganizing funds for musicians.
