New documents relating to "Tho Oast of Miss C?vo!l" have been thrown into the form of book by Ambroiso Got, their inter;/.'.iter, who states that they were bror.ght to hiru by a "German. political peisotiaga" (says "Tho Hospital"). Tho documents disclose more fully than has ever before come to light the iniquitous character of the trial, and the extent to which the proceedings were Slurried on and the evidence garbled in order that no reprieve might be possible. The accoumi of the execution is entirely different from anything hitherto published:—"Miss Edith Cavell van brought by tho soldiers from a neighbouring house. Her eyes had been bandaged a,nd her head covered by a black veil. Until this she walked bravely, but now, when she renlised that blib was before the platoon of execution, her strength failed her. She swayed, and fell about twenty yards from the wall against which flie was to stand. The German oflicor in command of tho firing approached Jli6s Cnvell, stretche.l on tho ground, drew from his bolt his regulation wide-mouth-ed revolver, knelt down, and, taking steady aim, fired." A correspondent acquainted with tho circumstances suggests In the "Daily Telegraph" that tho cause of Miss Cavell's fainii was the sight of I£. Baney being ehot before her eyes.
