ESPIONAGE IN ENGLAND
A GERMAN SENTENCED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, February 9. The trial at Winchester of Captain Grosse on a charge of espionage has been concluded, Grosse being convicted and sentenced to three years' penal servitude.
A JUDGE'S OPINION. IS A SPY A CRIMINAL? Received 12, 12.30 a.m. London, February 11. Mr. Justice Darling, in summing up in the Grosse case, urged the jury not to act in a spirit of vengeance. He said espionage tended to inflame hostile feeling between nations, and might lead to war. The continuance of peace demanded the cessation of such provocation. Severe punishment was the only deterrent. The Chronicle states that the sentence is harsh, and that Mr. Justice Darling treated the spy as a hardened criminal.
