FRIENDS EXPLAIN mm ACTS His Suspicious Move ments In Connection With touraine Fire Subject of Comment 11 i POLICE BRING OUT SOME NEW FACTS But Nevertheless the Prisoner Still Re mains Something of a Mystery and Some of His Friends Consiaei Charges Against Him Unfounded By Associated Press. Paris, April 2, 5.10 A. M.-t—Al though the police investigation of the history of Raymond Swoboda, charged ( with being responsible for the Are ' | aboard the steamer La Touraine, has , i 'brought out additional facts regarding j him, he remains something of a mystery. ] • Several of his friends profess to con- ' i sidcr the charges against him entirely | J unfounded. M. Trescat, a stock broker who knew j Swoboda well, says 'he can see no pos sible motive for the act of Whie'h he is accused. After hostilities began and business suspended on the Bourse, ac cording to Trescat, Swoboda sought some other occupation. One of the plans ihe considered was to go to the United States and obtain samples of military clothing, equipment and tools Which the Ministry of War would be likely to pur i chase. Trescat asserted Swoboda finally decided n;on this venture. He visited many factories in America, giving as a reference, Broker Morrison, who is one of the most widely known general mer-: chants in Paris. Upon the strength of this reference, he obtained the samples! he sought, according to Trescat. Contents of Swoboda's Trunks j The poliee credit the statement of j M. Trescat, for When they searched tlho j oflice in the Avenue De L 'Opera where I five trunks belonging to Swoboda were | stored, they found that two of Mi em 'had been opened anil the contents dis- ! played in an adjoining room. The dis play consisted of cloth, woolen gloves, socks, leather, metal flasks, canned goods, boots, entrenching'tools and even a complete French uniform. Friends of Swoboda explain the photograph in wtoich he appears in the uniform of a German officer by stating that he spent two years at Heidelberg to perfect 'him self in German and the picture probably as taken while he was wearing his stu dents uniform. Plans found in Swo'boda's office which the police regarded as suspicious, Mb friends say, probably were left there by an uncle who is an architect at Van couver and who recently visited Tilm in Paris. v Posed As a Canadian 'M.iM'otnineja, of the Boulevard Hause man, a banker who employed Swoboda j in 1912, declared to reporters on fhe other hand that Swofooda represented himself as a Canadian and said he.did not know a word of German, but some 1 time later lie overheard Swn-boda talk ' ing German fluently over the telephone. When the banker called the attention of 'his employe to the conflicting state ments he had made, Swoboda explained that he had studied at Heidelberg. Mommeja became suspicious, however, and discharged Swo'boda in 1913. Throe days ago M. Mommeja heard that his former employe had been soon in a Paris cafe in company with very suspicious persons. He at once report ed the matter to the local police. Long Regarded With Suspicion According to statements made to newspaper reporters by residents of the ! suburb of Viroflay, where Swoboda lived at one time, the man had long been regarded with suspicion, lie was very intimate in the Austrian-German colony and spent much of his time with an Austrian named Padonk. JL few days after the outbreak of hostilities Swoboda was discovered at a late hour one night close to where some important defense work was bc • ing carried out. Upon being arrested he explained he was an American and pleaded ignorance. Upon the produc tion of satisfactory papers he was al lowed to go. Disguised as a Mason This incident, however', aecorjjing j to the recitals of the peoplo of Viro flay made a strong impression upon Swoboda's neighbors and they decided to watch him. One night he was seen to go to the house of a man named | Prusst. Shortly after the two men made their way cautiously in the di rection of the local defense works, look ing around meanwhile to see if they ' were being observed. It was known . that Prusset was an Austrian born in Vienna. Some time later Swoboda, disguised I as a mason, was seen coming from the , defenses. The police were'informed of j this, but for some reason they took no action. Weeks passed and finally on January 15 they arrested Prusst and sent him to a concentration camp. By . this time Swoboda had left Viroflay. i Probing Causes ot the Fire Havre, April 2, 5.40 A.
