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.
