ALLEGED FORGER
COUNTRY HOUSE RAIDED SAID TO BE MASTER-SPY (Australian Press Association.) (Rec. March 4, 7.5 p.m.) Berlin, March 3. Vladimir Orloff, who was arrested for forging alleged State documents, was once one of the chiefs of the secret police in Tsarist Russia. He is now a master spy seeking to avenge the murdered Emperor, while Michael Sumarokoff, also in custody, was formerly envoy of the Ukraine Soviet Republic. Another person arrested is Gertrude Duemmler, a. girl of bewitching beauty, who was Orloff’s secretary. The police raiding Orloff’s country house at Schandau found a finely-equipped chemical laboratory and an arsenal of small arms. It is believed that many alleged Soviet documents published in Europe were manufactured at Orloff’s factory at Schandau. Herr Knickerbocker, Berlin correspondent of a New York paper, tricked Sumarokoff into lending him forgeries for a sufiicient time to have photographs taken. This enabled the Berlin political police to arrest the gang.
