intelligence with the enemy, was exc
cu,ed at Sante prison at 7 o'clock tins
morning.
Pierre Lenoir was the third person
to be executed on charges arising
out Of attempts made by German
agents to conduct a "deisatiSt cam
paign in France in 1915 and 1910.
The others who me, death a, result
OF revelations made against them,
were Bolo PaSha, executed April u,
1912 and NJ. Duyal who faced the
firing squad July Y, 1918, Roth were
directors OF the Gcrmanophlle news
paper Ronnc, Rouge.
Lenoir, who as young man, had
led an idle and dissolu,c lie, came
into public notice early IN 1918, when
the arrest OF Senator Humbert, owner
OF the Paris Journal, was followed
by charges against several men who
were alleged to have acted as agents
OF the Germans in buying the news
paper from NJ. Humbert. II was
shown early in the investigation that
Lenour had paid NJ, lIumbert large
sumo OF money which he had received
from Germans and that Lenolr had
received commission OF about S2N,-
900 for his work. The money handled
by Lenoir came into France by the
way of Switzerland, German agen,
named Schoeller acting ior Germany
in that country.
Lenoir was doomed 10 death on
Nav 8, 1919, and desperate but futile
efforts were made to gain a commit
,atlon OF his sentence. Lenoir was
removed to Santc prison after what
appeared to be his last chance for
lie had vanished. but OIL September
10 last, VIXEN the firing squad was in
position and all preparations for his
execution had been made, his lie
was spared for a time in most dra-
matte manner.
