ESPIONAGE.
AN ACCOMPLISHED SIMULANT. [PRESS ASSOCIATION COPYRIGHT. ] (Received 28. 8.0 a.m.) Berlin, June 27. Jaenicke has been sentenced to six years imprisonment. The doctors at the asylum concluded that he is an exceptionally accomplished simulant. Suspicion that he was feigning madness was first aroused by Jaenicke running to the window on hearing the cry ‘‘Zeppelin airship,'’ though he previously feigned deafness. Jaenicke, who is of Herculean proportions, was brought into the court heavily chained. He was tried in secret. [Jaenicke was a policeman, alleged to be an accomplice of a man named Glauss. who with a German naval signaller, named Ehlers, had conspired to sell to Great Britain code signal books. Jaenicke at the time of the trial of Glauss. in June, 1912, made the authorities believe that he was mad, and he was committed an asylum.]
