PANAMA SPIES
DETAILS OF EVIDENCE. “BUSINESS KING” AWAITING BRITISH TRIAL. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) PANAMA CANAL ZONE, July 3. The evidence against the 20 persons arrested as alleged members of a spy ring who fuelled Axis submarines and disclosed shipping information to the enemy indicates that for many months Honduran labourers working in the Canal Zone were beguiled by voluptuous hostesses of a Colon night club and used as tools. The arrested Honduras business king is now known to be George Gough. He was found on board one of his coastal vessels. A prize crew was put on board and he was arrested with his alleged accomplices and awaits a British trial at Belize. Early in June a trusted civilian employee of the Canal Labour Bureau was apprehended and the evidence tends to show that he was the key man in Panama for the ring.
“It was singularly impressive to hear this quiet, cultured diplomat express the ruthlessly realistic sentiment ‘We aim to send munitions to all the places where Germans and Japanese can be killed.’ ’’—Colin Wills in a 8.8. C. newsreel on. his interview with Mr Harry Hopkins.
