Lord How How
| Is Sentenced to
| Die for Treason
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Sept. 10. William
Joyce, Lord Haw Haw" of the Ger
man radio, was convicted of trea-
son in Old Bailey Court today and
sentenced to be hanged.
A jury Of 10 men and two women
required less than Is minutes to
arrive at a verdict after Justice
Tucker had ruled that Haw Haw
had left this country in 1888
wrapped up in the Union Jack" in
order to carry on German propa-
ganda.
The justice informed the jurors
after listening to three days OF
legal argument, that Joyce was not
a British subject, but nevertheless
he owed allegiance to the British
crown when he left the country be-
cause of the protection afforded
him by British passport. This
was despite his American birth and
the fact that Joyce later took out
German citizenship.
Joyce will appeal, his lawyers an
nounced.
When he walked to the cell he
gave what appeared to be the Nazi
salute to friends in the courtroom.
