Frenchman To Be Tried In Chinese Court
(Rec. 1.30 p.m.) SHANGHAI, Dec. 19. Despite the French Consul-General’s vigorous protests, Roland Sarley will be tried publicly in a Chinese court for alleged military espionage. It will be the first time any foreigner has been tried since • the abolition of extraterritoriality, and is regarded as a test case, showing what foreigners may expect from the Chinese courts. The loss of right to stand trial in. their own courts has aroused great interest and some apprehension among foreign businessmen. The French charged that the Chinese illegally arrested Sarley, since France has not yet relinquished extraterritorial rights as have Britain and America.
Sarley is accused of furnishing military information to the Japanese and assisting Japanese and puppet secret service agents.
