I had learned positively that this | •enegade spy—believed by many to have been the betrayer of Edith .'avetl, the heroic nurse who was “xecuted In the war by a German [iring squad—had not gone to the guillotine as reported, or committed suicide, or died a natural death.

Big Features at Circus A big added attraction to the Wal ter L. Main circus, which will spread Its acres of tents in Perth Amboy at Smith and Herbert streets on Friday, May 12 is Wilson's Hiding Lion and trained wild animal show, presented in two mammoth steel arenas as the introductory feature of the circus performance. In these steel dens are presented sensational, death defying stunts by groups of lions, tigers, pu mas. leopards and other beasts of the Jungle. There are two groups of monster Nubian lions who perform heretofore unheardof tricks, forming pyramids, rolling globes, jumping through hoops of fire, and always re sponding to the will of the trainer. A new and distinctive feature is the first appearance in this country of Wilson's group of trained Nubian Ilona including Duke, the only lion in the world that has been taught to ride a horse. Then there is a sensa tional feature in the assembling of a group comprised of two lions and a dor. who sit sround a table and eat a meal in perfect harmony. A lady trainer feeds these Hons raw meat with her bare hands. Added to the wild animsl portion of the circus is a group of trained seals and sea lions, who not only & authorities are concerned. He is hidden away in Mona prison, and In prison he will probably remain the rest of his days, seen by no human being, and always in the shadow of the guillotine. Belgium still has the death penal ty in the penal code. But no on" has been guillotined for nearly sixty years. The reason Is that back it* 1S65 two men were guillotined here in Mons and when shortly afterward it was found that they were inno cent Belgium was so shocked that since then the king has commuted all death sentences to life Imprison ment. t'sually the law authorities sign a petition asking the king to .commute death sentences. But In the arch traitor's case they have refused. Meanwhile all Belgian organizations of “x-soldiers are demanding Jean nes’ execution, and the newspapers are carrying on a campaign for his death. prove adepts at feats of juggling, but play musical Instruments as well, an old fashioned barn yard cir cus, in which trained pigs play an important part, riding dogs and monkeys and three ' well trained bears whose antics are most mirth ful. Trained elephants contribute astonishing stunts, and the half hour program of animal acts is said to be one of the most pleasing features of the long circus performance.

The prison authorities have reached the point where they do not even ridmi- liis existence! Thus they save both king and executioner from bearing the brunt of public senti ment. . . This man of thirty-three original ly sold his country for 25 francs a month. The Germans later increased his psy until he was getting 750 francs a month. Jeannes disappeared when the German war machine collapsed, but fate played him a trick. When the fleeing Germans destroyed the!’.’ documents, one heap in a barn near the Belgian frontier in northern France was overlooked. In this mass of papers were found 200 reports made by Jeannes, to gether with his Gemian police card, and letters from him to his German chief. Kirschenheim, in which he boasted of his exploits and asked for more money for his “faithful ser vice.” Jeannes claimed he had caused the deaths of 12G Belgians, French men and British, including Miss Cavell. His trial was a sensation. At first he was contemptuous and defiant, but the evidence against him was so stiong that his bravado soon vanish ed, even though no direct evidence was brought that he personally re ported Miss Cavell to the Oerman police.
