CONFESSED HE IS
6ERIHAN OFFICER
Man Who Dynamited International
Bridge Will Fight Extradi
tion To Canada.
VANCEBORO, Me., Feb. 4.—Weren
er Vanhorn, who was arrested by the
American authorities (or blowing up
the international bridge spanning the
St. Croix river with dynamite, has
confessed that he is an officer in
the German army who has been re
siding on both sides of the interna
tional line but has not acquired citi
zenship in either country.
The Canadian authorities have ap
plied for extradition papers in an ef
fort to get Vanhorn back on Canadian
soil, where he would be treated as
a spy. The prisoner claims immun
ity from extradition and declares that
he has never become a Canadian citi
zen, although he has lived some time
in Canada.
Vanhorn is evidently plentifully
supplied with money and has engag
ed counsel to represent him. His
attorneys declare that should the gov
ernor of Maine consider granting ex
tradition of their client to the Ca
nadian authorities they will appeal to
the German consulate in Washington
as the prisoner is a German subject
and as such not extraditable from
one foreign country to another. The
local authorities believe Vanhorn is
a member of a German society or
ganized in America to work destruc
tion in Canada in retaliation for
Canada sending troops to France to
fight Germany.
VANCEBORO, Me., Feb. 4.—Van
horn declares that the plans for the
destruction of the international
bridge were made in Germany and
that the object of the destruction of
the bridge was to prevent or retard
the shipme^ of supplies from Amer
ica to Canada intended for Britain.
