Stories Outgrowth of Plot to
! Foment Revolt in India, ;
Says Becker
A
' New York, May 23. -Germany's re
ported importation and storage in this
country of large numbers of Mauser
rifles and quantities of ammunition
was declared a myth by Deputy State
Attorney Becker at the conclusion
, yesterday of his inquiry into rumors
of the existence of these munitions.
He. expressed the opinion that the
stories which federal investigating
agencies have been attempting to run
to earth for over two years vere an
outgrowth of the German plot to fo
ment evolt against British rule in
India, This developed during the tes
timony of Henry Muck, former confi
denijal agent of Captain Hans Taus
clm the erstwhile American repre
seucative of German munition .manu-
': He said that in 1914 a shipment of
7,500 old model Springfield rifles,
yhich he now believes were intended
-.for reshipment to India, were stored
iu;this city by the German govern
ment. A few months ago, he declared,
they were sold by the enemy property
custodian to Francis Bannerman, a
New York broker fn condemned ord
nance and military paraphernalia,
v '! "This is the only source to which I
l can attribute these absurd stories
about a million rifles and a billion
rounds of ammunition being held here
BurauiT." Muck said. "I know
positively that but one shipment oft
... - ... i l.la'T
oto Mauser rwea a come v"o
country since 1907 and that- shipment
went to the agent for the American
constitutionalist government wlth the
'approval of the state department."
t mti a. naturalized citizen, appear
ed voluntarily at the bearing, stating
- that-he desired to clear himself of
suspicion resulting from his former
-connection with Tauscher. He placed
at the attorney general's disposal con
' Udentiai correspondence and other
rarnrA taken from the German
rjsent'a files. These records consti
' tuted an important part of the testi
mony during the government prose-
- cutlon of those connected with tne
Indian, uprising conspiracy.
