A Copenhagen message states, that there is a sensation throughout Denmark at the sentence of five years' penal servitude imposed at the Leipzig Supreme, Court on the Danish officer, Captain Lembourn, charged with spying in Germany in the interests of Prance. The trial was secret, but it is stated that Lembourn asserted that he acted only in the interests of Denmark, being -anxious to discover what preparations German Fascist organisations had made for an attack on the Danish southern frontier. The Court, on the contrary, declared that Lembourn acted on behalf of a secret service built up by the French military attache at Copenhagen.
