U.S. WOMAN ON SPY CHARGE

Release After Serving Part Of Sentence (N.Z. Press Association .Copyright) (Rec. 8 p.m.) TEL AVIV, Apr. 28. An American-born woman, Mary Frances Hagan, aged 29, who was sentenced last October to a year’s imprisonment in Israel for spying for Syria, left Tel Aviv by air today for New York. Miss Hagan was convicted by an Israeli Court on espionage charges and sentenced to one year’s imprisonment back-dated to begin from her arrest last August. An official announcement last week said the Minister of Police had decided to release her on the recommendations of the prisons committee after she had served two-thirds of her sentence. \

After her trial, which was held in camera, the police stated that the case against her hinged on her alleged friendship with a Syrian diplomat. Miss Hagan was taken out of prison through the back door today and driven straight on to the runway at Lydda airport, where she was immediately put aboard the aircraft. Her Israeli counsel, Mr Max. Fritzman, said she told him: “I’m not sorry about anything, since it has been a great experience.” She had also told him she intended to write a book about prison conditions. < Miss Hagan, who is tall and blonde, is from Huntington, West Virginia.
