Now York, Oct. 25.-Robert Pay, a lieutenant ot* the Kith Saxony in fantry, admitted to-day that ho carno here last April, through an arrange ment with the Connan secret ser vice, for the purpose of blowing up or delaying steamers sailing from this country with arms and ammuni- , tion for the allies. Fay declared, however, that while here ho had acted independently ot the (?orinan embassy, or other Cer n?an agents here. Ile added that he had told Capt. von Papen, military attache, and Capt. Boy-Ed, naval at tache of the Connan embassy, of his plans, bul said that both told him not to interfere with steamers sail ing from American ports or Anieri- , can ammunition plants. Pay and his brother-in-law, Wal-1 ter L. Scholz, wore arraigned at Weehawken earlier in the day on charges of conspiracy, and wore held without bail for an examin?t ion to- i morrow. Kay and Scholz were arrest ed by New York and Now Jersey de tectives near Grantward, N. J., late! Sunday while the two mon were ex perimenting with explosives. Paul Daeche, of Jersey City, was j arrested at his home early to-day. ; and was also arraigned, charged with conspiracy and hold without bail. De-1 tectives said, however that Daeche had given them much valuable infor mation, and they expected him to be an important witness in the case. Complete Confession. Fay said that while serving in the field with the German army he in vented a device for blowing up ships. He explained that he made the de vice after the French artillery, espe cially the 75-milllmeter guns, hud bothered his regiment a great deal. Police announced that Fay had made a complete confession of his ac tivities during his stay her?, and Inter the prisoner gave out a stato nieit to the newspapers. In that he s .id: "My only object when 1 came to this country was to interfere with the enormous shipments of artillery ammunition to tho allies. Hoing a manufacturer myself, and knowing that any ordinary damage that may be done to a factory may be repaired within a few hours, 1 decided it was useless to bother with ammunition plants. Therefore, the intimations that I have been connected willi vari ous explosions or accidents that have occurred In such plants In the Uni ted Stales is entirely wrong." Pay said that he and Scholz had conducted experiments with his mine device along the Hudson river, bul declared thal Daeche was in no way implicated. Ile said that he vv;is a German and denied that his father had been an Englishman. Pay said he was well supplied with money when he arrived here, and. therefore, was able to act on his own responsi bility. "When the Gorman secret service arranged for my trip to the United States they loft tho advisability of using my device to the judgment of Cern?an militar) and naval authori ties In this country." said Fay. "Hot h Capt. von Paiion and Capt. Boy-Ed strongly refused to make any use of my device in this country, but said that Its use in Canada would depend upon developments." Lieut. Fay explained how he plan ned to attach mines carrying his de vice to the sterns of ammunition laden vessels sailing from New York. By properly arranging the device, he calculated, the mine would bo ex ploded when the steamer was about half a day out. Ho declined to say whether he had attempted to attach min* :, to any ships in this harbor, but declared he had not attached loaded in i in s lo any vessel. State W. M. IT. Convention.
