Arrested for a Spy

F. G. Killmaster, B.A., Mus. Bac., a graduate of the University of Toronto, and a man widely known in Norfolk County, was arrested as a spy while 
visiting in England recently.

He went to visit the cathedral at Chester, and being unable to find the organist, started to roam through 
the building. He was placed under arrest and held 
under suspicion as being a German spy. 
It was some time before he could satisfy the 
authorities and obtain his release.

He is at present the organist of St. Paul's cathedral, London, Ont., and is on a tour of England in 
company with his sister.

His home was formerly in Port Rowan, but he has 
been living in London for two years.
