ESPIONAGE CASE

MARIE LOUISE TRIAL. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Helsingfors, October 27. By a strange coincidence the Marie Louise espionage case has developed following the strange disappearance across the Russian border of a Finnish Lieutenant, Pentikuinew, who is alleged to have absconded with important documents. To counter the espionage the police have now, arrested Mane Louise Martin on suspicion of being at the head of a gang which is divulging military secrets to Russia. An American teacher has also been arrested. , The police suspect that Martin s Canadian passport is forgery. She speaks poor English, but fluent German.

M.P’S. CLAIM. IDENTITY ESTABLISHED. (United Press Assn. —Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 6.35 p.m.) London, October 28. A member of the House of Commons, Mr J. McGovern, claims he has established beyond doubt the identity of Marie Louise as Olga Israel, an attractive 23-year-old Jewess living with wealthy parents in Berlin. She hau an affair with Baillie-Stewart, but not in any way connected with the court The Berlin correspondent of the Sunday Express interviewed Olga Israel, who flatly denies Mr McGovern’s allegation that she is Marie Louise. I am supposed to be like her. Thats all. It is terrible that I should be singled out. I never saw Baillie-Stewart in my life.” , , • It has been twice reported that Marie Louise died, once in Switzerland and once in Holland.
