LONG SENTENCES
IMPOSED ON SPIES DETECTED IN UNITED STATES. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) NEW YORK, September 28. Two former Staten Island air-raid wardens, Ernest Lehmitz and Erwin De Spretter, were sentenced to 30 years’ imprisonment for espionage. Lehmitz sent military information to Germany by means of invisible ink to persons in Spain and Portugal. Federal Judge Byers said defendants continued to send such information four months after the United States declared war against Germany, but none reached its destination because it was intercepted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. For that reason he did not impose the death sentence.
