FIVE YEARS’ SERVITUDE
BAILLIE STEWARTS'B SENTENCE. CONFIRMED BY THE KING. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright LONDON, April 13. Lieutenant Baillie-Stewart has been cashiered and sentenced to five years’ penal servitude. His Majesty has confirmed the sentence. A War Office communique says that the Court found Stewart guilty on the first, second, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth charges. His Majesty confirmed the findings on the second, fourth, and ninth charges, of obtaining, collecting and communicating information which might be useful to an enemy for a purpose prejudicial to the State, but withheld confirmation on the remainder, relating only to subsidiary incidents and the same transactions. After the announcement Stewart in civilian clothes, seated between two officers in mufti, was driven out of the Tower to Wormwood Scrubbs to become a civilian prisoner subject to the usual routine. He probably goes from there to the convict prison at Maidstone.
