RETURN TO GERMANY
CHIEF WITNESS IN SPY HUNT AMERICAN TRIAL DELAYED NEW YORK, May 19. (Received May 19, at 10 p.m.) Dr Ignatz Greibl, at one time the national leader of American Nazis and one of the chief witnesses in the Government’s greatest peace-time spy hunt, disappeared mysteriously only a few days before the opening of the hearing of the espionage case by the grand jury. Federal agents learned that he sailed for Germany on board the liner Bremen on Thursday. They have requested the French authorities at Cherbourg to ask him to return to the United States. The captain of the Bremen would not allow them to make con; tact with Dr Greibl.
Federal agents are now trying to ascertain whether Dr Greibl was forced to return to Germany by threats. His wife laughs at the suggestion that he was kidnapped by Nazis, and says that he will return in three weeks.
