James Larkin

Capt. Karl Boy-Ed

New light is thrown upon the mystery of the Black Tom disaster in New Jersey, where a munitions explosion in 1916 killed four persons, injured hundreds and did $40,000,000 damage, claim for which has been unsuc cessfully made by the United States upon the German Government, by the affidavit of James Larkin, Irish labor agitator, now on file in Washington. Larkin, who was deported from the US. In 1922 after serving a Rentence for criminal anarchy, says he was asked by the late Capt. Earl Boy-Ed, German naval attache in Washington, to take part in German sabotaga plans before America entered the World War. He also claima to have been present when German agents were planning the munitions explosion at Jersey City, and that he later heard German agents boast of their deed in Mexico City, Laride further charges that oficiala now high in the Hitler regime "have knowledge" of the blast.
