who met death as a result OF revcla-

July II. 1918. Both were directors OF

Rouge
Lcnoir. who ns n young man had
led an idle and dlssulutu lifc. came
into public notice early In 1918. when
the arrest of Senator Humbert,
owner OF the Paris journal. was fol-
lowed by charges against several men
who were alleged to have acted as
agents OF the Germans In buying the
newspaper from NJ Humbert.
1t was shown early In tho invcsti-
Gatlon that Lenolr had paid NJ. Hum
bert large sums OF money which he
had received from the Germans. and
that Lenoir had received commits
sion OF about 100000 for his work.
Lcnoir was doomed to death on
May s. 1919. and desperate. but futile,
efforts we're made to gain a comnu-
tation OF his sentence. Lonoir was
removed to Sante Prison after what
appeared to be his last chance for
life had vanished. but on Sept 10 last
when the firing squad was Ia posi-
ton and all preparations for his exc
cution mad been made. his life was
spared for time in a most dramatic
manner.
His attorney asserted that Lcnoir
could give evidence wanted in the
case OF Joseph Caillaux.
Lenolr was given a searching cN-
animation by judicial authorities, but
subsequently 1t was announced that
nothing he had laid before the Off
cials would Justify mitigation Of

him. An appeal to the Court Of Re-
