Maitre de Leval, who defended Nurse Cavell, told at an Armistice celebration dinner at the Author's Club the story- of Nurse Cavell's trial, sentence, and death. He said he had heard some people, even in England, say that she was rightly Jcilled because < she was a j spy. She was not. Eyen. the Germans never said that she was. In all the statements made' in the indictment! against her' there was in' each case -only one charge, "Procuring soldiers to the enemy." All that she wanted to do was to save soldiers from death, i and she declared before the Court: "I acknowledge tha't through my intervenI tion 200 men have been jtei up to the I frontier." Nurse CaveU'died on October 12th, not, as some people had saidj by collapsing at the execution post, and being shot by a German officer. She died courageously, as heroically. as a soldier.

During the evening, Maitre de Leval_ exhibited the notice-which--was posted in Brussels of the execution of Nurse Cavell. It was in French, German, and Flemish. LORD DUNWICH'S WEDPING.
