Washington, D. C. In a letter which
. he has written to Representative
: Frear of Wisconsin, Attorney General
Gregory declares that investigations
conducted by agents of his depart-
ment show there is no foundation for
reports to the effect that German spies
in this country have been guilty of
poisoning court plaster, wator Mid
other substances in order to spread
terror.
| "The department has received nu-
; merous complaints of the presence of
[ broken glass in food substances, but
a most thorough investigation has
i failed to establish a single case in
which glass has been maliciously
placed therein," says the attorney
general. "The greater number of the
alleged 'broken glass cases' develop-
ed into instancs where there Were
found small pieces of flint, sand or
other impurities that had either acci-
dentally or through negligence in
manufacture appeared in the pro-
ducts.
"As to poisoned courtplaster, a
number of complaints have been madtt
to the department and have been
thoroughly investigated. In all of
these cases but one no harmful trace
of poison was found.
"No cases of poisoned waters with
intent to injure human beings have
come to the department's attention,
either by complaint or by its own in
vestlgaMons. The department lias
discovered no case whore any at-
tempt was made willfully to in lure
horses or animals belonging to or
destined for government use by
me^ns of poisoned water."
