DEATH SENTENCES ON ALLEGED SPIES
IN
ITALY
VERY HEAVY sentences on 24 people accused of spying have been inflicted, an- nounces Rome Radio.
The sentences include two of death, and those sentenced include two members of the Italian Navy, a workman in a firm of naval constructors and a trade representative at Taranto.
200-FEET LEAP FROM CATHEDRAL
Scaling ten feet high
According to Rome Radio,
a
special tribunal for the defence of the State ended its case on Satur- day evening against members of a "network of spies operating in Italy.
Sentences of death by shooting were imposed on a trade repre- sentative at Tarnnt and a Quar- emaster in the Royal Kalian Navy.
The executions took place
9 HOURS IN DEBRIS, UNHURT
Police searching among bombed cottages in a north-west town found an
elderly woman still lying
in bed unhurt, nine hours after the bombs fell. She had been bedridden for ycars, and was quite un- able to help herself when the explosion shattered part of her house and ex- posed her in her bed to the street..
Rescue work had been going on all the time, but she had been overlooked.

ed inwards, and squeezing through a space only two feet wide, a forty-one- | year-old aircraftman jumped 200 feet to death from the tower of West- minster Cathedral.
This story was told at the West- minster inquest on John Eric Fox. who had left behind a note saying that he bad found life not worth living without his wife who was working with the N.A.A.F.Is in a different part of the country.
He ascended the tower of Westminster Cathedral by life. Later an air raid warning was given, and as he had not come down a search was made and a priest found him lying.on the roof,
He left his cap, respirator, and a letter addressed to his wife in
the tower.
Father L. M. Feery said as the result of a case that happened at the Cathedral ten or twelve years ago the tower was adequately protected and only a man with some physical development and a certain amount of nerve could get over the 10ft. railings.
Police Sergeant John Mc- William said that Fox must have been a very athletic man, there ooing spikes turned inwards to climb over and a space of only 2ft, to get through.
The coroner, Mr. Bentley Pur- chase said he was satisfied that the railings on the tower. were adequate except, perhaps, to any- one who would brook.no obstacle. Verdict: Suicide while of unsound mind,
