Original Caption: Publisher of New York Mail faced serious charge. Dr. Edward A. Rumely, publisher of the New York Evening Mail, has been arrested and placed under heavy bail, charged with operating the paper with funds supplied by the Imperial German Government. The facts of the care are intricate and numerable. The primary charge lodged against Rumely was that of perjury, as he filed an affidavit with the Alien Property Custodian stating that the "Mail" was an American owned paper. Professor Rumely is shown on the left, in the custody of a Federal agent.
Edward Aloysius Rumely (1882–1964) was a physician, educator, and newspaper man from Indiana.
