ARRESTED & GAOLED
NAZI LEADER IN UNITED STATES. CHARGES OF DRUNKENNESS AND PROFANITY. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright NEW YORK, July 16. The leader of the German-American Bund, Fritz Kuhn, discovered rural America today, and landed in gaol as a result. A policeman halted Kuhn -and Count Apastase von Siatsky, leader of the White Russians in America, as the pair left a cafe in Webster. Massachusetts, and started to enter the Count’s car. The policeman insisted that the Count was too drunk to drive, and took both to the station house, where it was agreed that Kuhn should drive. After starting the motor Kuhn leaned out of the window and cursed the police, who promptly pulled him out and arrested him on charges of drunkenness and profanity. Kuhn was released after he and the Count had raised 54 dollars bail.
The police chief, Mr John Templeman, said: “Kuhn was just another wise guy who thought this was a hick town and that he could stage one of them beer-hall putsch things and be a dictator in it.
