relieved; such cases we're common. The
sentences provided in such cases were
not in general severe, according to the
standards Of those in vogue in occu-
pied Belgium.
Edith Cavell herself did not expect
such a fate. She was a frail and deli
cate little woman about 40 years OF
age. She had come TO Brussels some
years before the war TO exercise her
calling as a trained nurse. She soon
became known to the leading physicians
of the capital and nursed in the homes
of the leading families But h was
ambitious and devoted TO her profess
sion and ere long had entered a Hur-
sing home in the rue de Ia Clinque,
where she organized for DR.. Depage a
training school for nurses, She was a
woman of refinement ana education;
she knew French as she knew her own
language; she was deeply religious, with
a conscience almost puritan, ana was
very stern with herself in what she
conceived to be her duty. In her train
ing school she showed great executive
ability, was firm in matters OF dis
cipline and brought II 70 a nigh state
of efficiency. And every one who knew
her in Brussels spoke or her with that
unvarying term of respect which her
noble character inspired.
Some time before the trial Maitre
Thomas Braun announced to the lega-
ton that for personal reasons he would
be obliged to withdraw from the case,
and asked that SOME one else appear
for Miss Cavell. We engaged Maitre
