EIGHTEEN MONTHS
SENTENCE ON A SPY WOMAN UNWITTINGLY HELPS THE POLICE. By Telegraph—Pre«s Association—Copyright LONDON, July 23. At the trial at Edinburgh of Armgaard Karl Greaves on a charge of espionage, it was slated that he had come from Truro, South Ai^tralia. Counsel for tho prosecution produced envelopes addressed to Greaves at Truro, and also Masonic invitations that had been found in his possession. The German telegraphic cotie, with a key thereto, which had also been found in Greaves’s possession was a remarkable one, and at present unexplained. Greaves said that ho was guilty of possessing a code which was prejudicial to tho State, but ho was not guilty of tho charge that he had notes giving particulars of the guns under construction at Beardmore's works. Inquiries being made by tho police in regard to Greaves’s case were facilitated by the officers answering a woman who was speaking on the telephone. Imagining that she was addressing her remarks to Greaves, she revealed important facts. Greavea was sentenced to eighteen months’ imprisonment. He represented himself as a medical man.
