MESSAGES TAPPED.
FRANCO’S SPIES HELPED
MARSEILLES, Aug. 12. Adrien Sentenac, a telegraph emplovee, has been arrested on a charge of "tapping official messages addressed to Valencia from Algiers, via Marseilles, and supplying the contents to General Franco, leader of the Spanish rebels. . . . . Sentenac avoided re transmitting the messages when possible or else took a copy, which he handed over to General Franco’s spies. Missing telegrams aroused the suspicions of the police, who raided Sentenac’6 house, where a woman friend handed over a packet containing coded Valencia telegrams. Several announced steamer sailings, including the departure for Spain last month of three Government merchantmen which were subsequently attacked by an unknown submarine. One was sunk.
