AN ESPIONAGE CHARGE.
AGAINST GERMAN POUCEMAN. SELLING CODES TO BRITAIN. (Received 11.10 a.m.) BERLIN", June 27. The trial of Glauss, a German policeman, has commenced in camera, at Leipzig. He is accused of conspiring with Ehlers, a navy signaller, of selling to Great Britain German code books with an accomplice, a policeman named Jaenicke, who has gone mad.
Glauss -was sentenced in March last to sis months' imprisonment and ten years' loss of honour at Aurich for larceny. When extradited from London he pleaded that the larcecy charge had been trumped up against him, and that the real reason why his return was desired was that he should stand his trial for espionage. He therefore asked that he should not be extradited, but the British authorities decided to hand him over.
