AMAZING TALE OF ESPIONAGE

PROMINENT GERMAN WOMEN INVOLVED

Berlin, Feb. 17.

The story of an alleged espionage plot in Germany, for which it is expected a number of prominent persons, including a Polish officer, Baron Sosnowsky, Baroness von Berg, Frau von Natzner and others, will die, was revealed here to-day following the trial of the accused before a secret People's Court.

The accused were charged with selling Germany's mobilisation plans to a foreign power, and were accused of high treason..

Some quarters believe Baroness von Borg and Frau Natzner will certainly be executed.
