ALLEGED ESPIONAGE.
STEWART'S SENTENCE. "OUTRAGEOUS AND VINDICTIVE." By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, February 5. The Times states that no Englishman can accept Stewart's sentence as justified. The Standard declares that the verdict is another judicial outrage. No doubt the Belgian witness was an agent provocateur. Mr. Arkwright, barrister, writes to the papers that Stewart, who was eon victed at Leipsiz of espionage, is a man of the highest integrity, beloved by his contemporaries at Eton and honored by his professional colleagues. He says the British Government must demand a new trial. The Globe describes the sentence as outrageous and vindictive. The newspapers are generally astonished at the weight the judges gave' to the unsupported testimony of an escaped convict.
