Plans of Prosecution TTpset by Ad
tnlsslop of Employment of Agents
and Payment to Them of
Earns of Money.
BAIT FRAXCISCO. Dec 2t. Frani
Bopp, German consul-general here, on
trial In the United States District
Court with six others on charges of
conspiracy to violate the neutrality of
the United States by alleged blowing
up of munitions of war consigned to
the allied governments, took the wit
ness stand In his own behalf late to
day. Bopp admitted that Vice-Consul von
Fchack had employed C. C. Crowley, a
detective, and Louis J. Smith, a former
dynamite factory hand, in the absence
of Bopp in Europe in the early months
of the war. He insisted, however. In
line with the general policy of the de
fense, that the two men were engaged
as confidential agents to furnish evi
dence of entente violations of American
neutrality and not to plant bombs in
enemy ships, trains and tunnels.
Boy Witness In Convulsions.
Bopp's accession to the stand fol
lowed the sudden fainting In court of
Alonzo Smith, a nephew of Louis J.
Smith, who has testified that Smith had
boasted of expecting to receive $20,000
from the United States Government
for his testimony. The lad completed
his brief bit of evidence, then let his
head fall on his chest, later going into
convulsions. He was removed to a hos
pital. Earlier In the day a searching cross
examination of Von Schack by the
prosecution had elicited that Bopp
alone had access to the strong box In
the consulate safe. On July 28, 1915,
the date when Smith says $1,254 was
paid him for alleged attempts to blow
up ships and tunnels, Bopp alone, ac
cording to Von Schack, was author
ized to extract the necessary sum.
Previously he had characterized
Smith's demands upon the consulate as
"blackmail."
Expert Dynamite Packer Wanted
"Why, if at all, was Crowley hired
by the German consulate?" Attorney
Theodore Roche, for the defense, asked
Bopp.
"He was engaged by Von Schack In
my absence," Bopp said.
"Why was Smith hired at a later
date?"
"We heard that he was an expert
dynamite packer and I considered that
this would enable him to investigate
suspected cases where dynamite was
being shipped to our enemies under
false manifests."
By admitting the employment of
Crowley and Smith and admitting the
payment of sums to them. Including a
large cash payment to Smith by Lieu
tenant von Brlncken In the Palace Ho
tel on July 28, 1915, the defense has
upset some o the Government's cal
culations. The prosecution will now make every
effort to prove that these sums were
paid for the alleged blowing up of
tunnels, railways and ships, based on,
a false report which Smith has testi
fied he and Crowley presented to Von
Schack.
Cross-examination of Bopp Is ex
pected to occupy tomorrow's morning
session.
