Miss X" Appears

It was stated that Glading was foiled by a person named "Miss X," who was employed by the Intelligence Department of the War Office to keep under observation certain persons.

"Miss X" joined a body called "Friends of the Soviet Unino" with the knowledge of the War Office, and later became typist in connection with a concern called the "Anti-war Movement."

Glading, it was alleged, was an official of that body.

Later, the Court was told, "Miss X" took a' flat at Glading's suggestion, where photography apparatus was installed. A plan, since identified as that of a 14-inch gun of the newest and most secret type, was copied.

When arrested at Charing Cross, Glading was reported to have had a parcel containing twelve prints of special arsenal apparatus.

All four accused were remanded until February 7. Bail wa: refused.—
