Frank Heine has been released on the ground that the charges against him did not constitute under the Belgian penal law justification for his detention in prison. This announcement follows a newspaper’s disclosure that minor officials of the Belgian espionage service assisted Heine by supplying him with official notepaper and seal. It is stated that disciplinary proceedings are pending against these officers. [Heine, when arrested, confessed to having forged the • “Utrechtsch Dagblad’s” alleged secret Franco-Belgian military treaty. He said that he intended to sell the forgery to the German espionage service. Instead, he sold it to the “Dagblad” for a good price.]
