At the end of the month, the Japanese, including ambassador Kichisaburo Nomura and special envoy Saburo Kurusu, were sent to the Homestead in Hot Springs, Va. In mid-January, the Italians moved into the Greenbrier.

Prosecutors say Kurusu, who was arrested last May, took 15 percent from each teacher’s paycheck and threatened deportation for those who complained.

The 58-year-old Kurusu in January pleaded guilty to wire fraud, fraud in foreign labor contracting, making a false statement on a visa application and to tampering with a witness, victim or an informant.

George Mariadas Kurusu pleaded guilty before a federal magistrate Friday in Pecos to a variety of fraud and witness tampering charges.

When Nomura and Kurusu delivered the fourteenth part of the terminating message, he told the secretary “to receive their reply formally and coolly bow them out.”
