LADY MOSLEY

ARRESTED

Capt. Pitt-Rivers

(A.A.P. and Our Own Correspondent)

LONDON, Sunday.

Acting under the National De- fence regulations, police yesterday arrested Lady Mosley, wife of Sir Oswald Mosley, British Fascist leader (who has been in custody for several weeks), Captain G. H. L. F. Pitt-Rivers, formerly A.D.C. to the late Lord Forster when he was Governor-General of Australia, and the Rev. H. E. B. Nye and the Rev. J. V. Thomas, both of Lincolnshire,

The windows of Nye's rectory were stoned in 1937 after he had

contributed a pro-German article to the British Fascist newspaper

"Action."

Lady Mosley was arrested at her home at Savehay Farm, Denham (Buckinghamshire), after a short interview. Scotland Yard officials, including a woman, visited her

farm.

After she had refused an offer to be allowed to take her 10-weeks old son with her, she stepped into a car with the detectives.

She was formerly Mrs. Bryan Guinness, is a daughter of Lord Redesdale, and a sister of Miss Unity Freeman-Mitford, one of Hitler's closest English friends.

Goering once called her a perfect specimen of Aryan womanhood, be- cause of her golden hair and blue

eyes.

Her marriage to Mosley was one of the most mysterious episodes in his life. It was reported from Berlin in 1938 that the marriage had taken place at Munich in 1937 in Hitler's private office, with Hit-

ler as best man.

The Mayor of Munich was said to have been ordered to put the documents in a private file, where nobody could see them. The Bri- tish Union of Fascists denied this story, but in November, 1938, the union announced that Mosley's wife had given birth to a son.

Mosley then said that he and Mrs. Guinness had been married in 1936. Debrett's "Peerage and Baronetage" says that the marriage took place in 1937.

Mosley and his wife have lodged an appeal against their detention, which will be heard by the Home Secretary's advisory committee in

about three weeks.
