MEMORIAL TO A SPY.
HONOUR IN BIRTHPLACE. A memorial to Carl Lody, one of the most famous and most respected of German wartime spies, was unveiled at Lubeck, his birthplace, on November 8, says the Berlin correspondent of the Tunes, London. Acclarnatorv Press inferences compare his work and fate with those of Nurse Cavell, declaring that his bearing so impressed his judges that they permitted him to be shot instead of hanged. The memorial takes the form of a fully-armed knight with his vizor down. The inscription leads “Carl Lodv, died for us in the Tower of London. Remember.” In 1914 Lieutenant Carl Hans Lody, of the German Navy, was tried by a court-martial, presided over by Lord Cheylesmore, at the Middlesex Guildhair on a charge of espionage. He was found guilty on November 2 and condemned to be shot, sentence being carried out at the Tower of London. This was the first execution of a spy in Great Britain during, the war. He had been arrested at Killarney.
