SPIES EXCHANGED
SOSNOWSKI NOW FREE
LONDON, February 22. (Received Feb. 22, at 9.30 p.m.) The Daily Express’s Warsaw correspondent says Sosnowski arrived and was welcomed by a woman relative. He was still escorted by two German secret police. The baron was taken to the German Embassy, and Ogurek, the German spy, who was imprisoned in Poland, was speedily brought to the Embassy. The German police released Sosnowski and took Ogurek to Germany. Sosnowski is now a free man and staying with his father, a wealthy retired lawyer who is living 40 miles outside Warsaw, but there is considerable feeling in Poland over the spy’s conduct in Germany.
The People’s Court in Berlin sentenc'd to death Baroness von Berg and Frau von Natzner for espionage and high treason. Baron Sosnowski, a Polish officer, was sentenced to life imprisonment, but has now been exchanged for a German spy.
