According to the “Morgenpost,” Elsie Pfitzner, + he fiancee of a sergeant of Pioneers stationed at Posen, has been arrested at Posen Station as she was stepping into a train for Russia. She was accused of having sold to Russia fortification, mobilisation, and other plans and documents obtained from her lover. The military authorities had long suspected her, but a search among her luggage and clothing brought no papers to light. Finally, however, she was more closely searched by female detectives, who found detailed plans and data tattooed all over her skin.
