renegade spy-believed by many to

executed in the war by a German
firing squad-had not gone to the

suicide. or died a natural death.

1t is dcath-a living death-that

No Visitor is Allowed { See Him
IL is futile to try to see Jeannes.
The prison authorities have reached
the point where they do not even
admie his existence! Thus they save
both king and executioner from
bearing the brunt of public senti-
ment.
This man Of thirty-three original
Iy sold his country for rs francs a
month. The Germans later increased
his paw until he was getting $50
francs a month.
Jeannes disappeared when the
German war machine collapsed, but
fate played him a trick. When the
fleeing Germans destroyed thei.
documents, one heap in a barn near
the Belgian frontier in northern
France was overlooked.
In this mass of papers were found
zoo reports made by Jeannes. to-
gether with his German police card,
and letters from him to his German
chief, Kirschenheim. in which he
boosted of his exploits and asked for
more money for his faithful SER
vice.
Jeannes claimed he had caused
the deaths of 126 Belgians, French
men and British, including Miss
cavell.
His trial was a sensation. At first
he was contemptuous and defiant.
but the evidence against him was so
strong that his bravado Don vanisii-
ed, even though no direct evidence
was brought that he personally re-
ported Miss Cavell to the German
