The Ambassador in Argentina (Armour) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:35 p.m.]
2339. Our 2302, November 18, 5 p.m. Provincial police state that Napp has made one eight-page confession, which has been delivered Minister Interior. Napp admitted practically everything known or suspected of him but steadfastly claimed knew nothing of radio transmitters. Seriously implicates Niebuhr and German Embassy. He said he had not expected arrest, since arrangement had been made with police of Capital through Morano, Chief of Orden Social, to secure his immunity. Was extremely surprised when provincial police showed they were determined to secure confession. We consider it extremely fortunate that provincial police had opportunity to intervene in this matter.
Report on Napp’s confession will be sent by next courier.
