Boy-ed was 'Richard Houston, Von Papen was 'Thomas Hoggson' and Bolo Pascha was always mentioned as 'St. Regis, In this same code 'William Foxley' always meant the German Foreign Office." "But surely you did not learn this from the advertisements?" "Not at all. Hugo Schmidt, who was reputed to be the paymaster of the gang, was caught trying to burn a copy of this code at the German Club.
"Although I have already said that this Government does not want to do anything further than to request the recall of Boy-Ed and von Papen, since they are no longer personoe gratoe, I, nevertheless, do not desire to go beyond the above declaration; so that your Government may be in a position to institute an inquiry into the manner of dealing with your Attachés, should it wish to do so.
Dumba, and the German military and naval attaches at Washington, Captain Franz von Papen and Captain Karl Boy-Ed. Relations with the Allies, in the meantime, were far from satisfactory. The unprecedented scale on which the war was being fought made huge supplies of munitions, food and raw materials such as copper and cotton absolute necessities.
In reply to Senator Overman, who asked if Captains von Papen and Boy-Ed were held to be implicated in all these illegal acts, Mr. Bielaski gave the following evasive answer: "The most important, and most serious of these illegal acts, were, generally speaking, inspired, financed and conducted by one or other of the accredited representatives of Germany."

"And you think, then, that Otto Hoff may be the head of the conspirators in this country?" said Jane. "Not Otto Frederic," said Fleck quickly. "The young man, I am certain, was the director, probably sent out from Berlin after the country became too hot for Von Papen and Boy-ed. The old man, I believe, merely carried out his orders. I doubt even if they are uncle and nephew."

The New York Herald and the Providence Journal took the leading parts in this business.
