ARRESTED SPIES
GANG CAUGHT IN BERLIN PRETTY GIRL ACCOMPLICE ' I (Australian and N.Z . Press Association) BERLIN", Monday. Vladimir Orloff. one of the men arrested in Berlin yesterday on suspicion of being members of a gang of forgers of international documents, was once a chief of the secret police in Russia in the time of the Tsar. He is now a master spy who is seeking to avenge the murdered Emperor. The second arrested man, Michael Sumarakoff, was formerly an envoy of the Ukraine Soviet Republic, Also arrested was Gertrude Duemmler, a girl of bewitching beauty, who was Orloff’a secretary. The police raided Orloff’s country house at Schandau. They found there a finely equipped chemical laboratory, and an arsenal of small arms. It is believed that many alleged Russian documents published in Europe were manufactured at Orloff’s factory at Schandau. Mr. Knickerbocker, the Berlin correspondent of a New York newspaper, tricked Sumarakoff into lending him some forged documents for a sufficient time to have them photographed. In this way the Berlin political police were able to arrest the gang.
