"Pittsburg
[sic!], Mrs. Elsie Greve, recently
of New York, but formerly of
Berlin, was arrested in crowded
Fifth Avenue this forenoon
while walking by the side of
her husband, F. P. Greve of
New York, dressed in men's
clothes and puffing a cigarette.
Both Mrs. Greve and her husband
were taken, protesting, to
the central police station
and locked up as suspicious
persons. / Both Greve and his
wife asserted that they were
subjects of Germany, had done
no wrong, and intended no wrong.
If they were not released speedily,
they would appeal to the German
Ambassador at Washington to-morrow
morning, they said. Whether
this threat was considered
or not is not known, but this
evening it was announced at
Police Headquarters that Mrs.
Greve and her husband had been
allowed to leave the police
station and go on their way,
and that Supt. of Police McQuaide
issued a letter to the pair
setting forth that Mrs. Greve
and her husband were all right
and that the woman was wearing
men's clothes only because
she could walk better and keep
up with her husband, who was
walking out his vacation." |
