For the age a profession for four years; ho knew the consequences of his acts, and remained in the service of the enemy without regret and remorse...

Maitre Wynant began his pleading at the afternoon sitting. Ee, too, confessed that he did not like his task. He found a similarity between the case of Quieu, who was accused of being the denunciator of Nurse Cavell, was condemned to death, and afterwards sent to penal servitude for life, and of Jeannes., If Jeannes was not also the denunciator of Nurse Cavell, he implored the jury to remove from Belgium the dishonour of baving seen one of her sous deliver a pure heroine who was Misa Cavell,. for it was the Cavell affair that had brought Jeannes to trial. His main argument was that, as Belgian law did not permit counter- espionage, Jeannes was not a spy inthe sense of the law, since he had got furnished to the enemy any information bearing on the national defence or the security of the Stute. To this argument the Advocate-General replied that Jeanne's acts of espionage concerned not only individuals but the State, and therefore the national defence.
