TLAIRVAUX, France, Oct. II.
IT, His face suddenly a
Y sickening white, his eyes
wide opened in terror, Georges
CASTOR Quien recoiled as if he
had been hit when I mentioned
to him the name Edith Cavell.
1T am suffering calvary" he
cried. 81 am not guilty!Y
1t was easy to see how Quien
had won his prison nickname Of
Double Metre"-two yards; he
is nearly six feet six inches tall.
He would attract attention any
where.
Quien responded readily to sew
eral questions I asked him. Then
I said:
81 want to ask you about Nurse
Cavell."
QUEENS huge frame seemed sud-
denly to collapse into a mass OF
unhealthy flesh. His face blanched.
Covering, he covered his face
with his huge hands. Then his
story came with a rush of broken
sentences:
1T am not guilty. I am~not
guilty!
81 have sinned often. I regret.
But never-never-did denounce
Nurse Cavell."
Alone with his awful thoughts
for nearly eight years Quien ap-
pears to have constructed a hole
proof defense.
at am the victim of judicial
errors" he continued. 1T is my
past history that has convicted

ri 2 LAWYER tried hard to
IM save me; but he has lost
interest. Now I never
laar from him, and he does moth
ing to reopen my case.
st am tired of fighting. I am
becoming resigned to my fate. But
I am not guilty.
MY life during the war was a
drama. I escaped from the oc-
cupied territory to Holland, and I
carried out numerous missions for
the French military attache.
For collaborating in Nurse
Cavell's work, I twice was con-
demned by the Germans, once to
six months imprisonment at Ant
werp.
often I handled important
military documents.
st never was in the pay of the
Germans
st lost because had a double,
equally tall as I and otherwise
closely resembling me. He was
named Cavier,. and he was Ger
man spy.
"Cavier succeeded in working
into the circle that contained
Nurse Cavell and others who
eventually were shot. 1t was he
who cost them their lives.
also Nurse Cavell had a dozen
German nurses, any one Of whom
might have betrayed her.
uTT URSE CAVELL had with
I'M her, too, a German girl
LII she had adopted, a 16-
year-old child named Pauline.
She was a loose-tongued though
well-meaning child. who gossiped
constantly and could have talked
too much.
ut is among those whom I have
described that you must look for
Nurse Cavell's denunciator.
st was the victim of a hostile
press campaign at time when
passions still we're white hot. =
II swear never touched a PEN
ny of German money.
How unhappy am! My par
ents have died. They left me
their fortune of several hundred
thousand francs, but what good
is it to me? I am so, and I
haven't much hope for the flu
ture.
eff I could get good lawyer
and tell him my story, there
would be a scandal"
There Quien broke down. Tears
welled from his eyes,. and he
sobbed unreservedly. With his
face buried in his hands, he was
led back to his cell, to serve his
long sentence, as dead to the
world as the heroic nurse of whose
BETRAYAL he was convicted.
