Storekeeper's Story

Miss Dewanger was originally responsible for supplying evidence linking Otto Hermann Voss, an aeroplane mechanic arrested at the Seversky plant in Farmingdale, "Long Island, with the German espionage service.

She testified that Lonkowski in 1995 often accompanied Voss and both ited her store carrying a small package.

Lonkowski seemed always to be well supplied with money. Once, Lorkowski's wife, who appeared to have been drinking too much, said, Germany pays for this" as she bought some liquor, Miss Dewanger said.

Miss Dewanger said that once, on behalf of Lonkowski, she delivered a package to Schlueter on Ward the Europa Lonkowski was furious on learning that she had left the package with the purser instead of delivering it personally to Schlueter, she said.

Voss is one of the four defendants. The other two are Miss Johanna Hofmann, hairdresser on board the Europa and Erich Glaser, former in the U.S. air corps.—United
