ANGRY CROWD
LONDON April 18. The ‘ Daily Express’s ’ Pai-is correspondent says an angry crowd confronted Mrs Switz when she was released. They followed her in cars and cabs to her lawyer’s flat, where she narrowly escaped the mob. She said afterwards: “ I think I went into the affair for excitement, but I am now ■ completely cured.”
Switz, who is an ex-American airman, said he took up espionage .three years ago because he was tired of doing nothing. [ln connection with the spy case sentences totalling 32 years and fines amounting to 18,000 francs were imposed on 10 persons convicted. Madame Salman and Mile Me'rmet were sentenced to three years, Mrs Stahl and Dumoulin were sentenced to five years. Colonel Switz and Mrs Switz,- who were found guilty, were released because they turned State’s evidence. Dumoulin’s wife screamed and collapsed when her husband was sentenced. Professor Martin will be retried, as he refused to plead.]
