GUILT DENIED
TRIAL OF “PRISONER OF THE TOWER.” United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, March 24. The court-martial was continued today of Lieutenant Baillie-Stewart, who is charged with offences under the Official Secrets Act. He is alleged to have communicated with secret service agents in Germany. Cross-examined, accused said he did not remember discussing mechanical matters with Obst. He did not know Obst’s profession. He denied that he ever gave Marie Louise information for money. Witness terminated his visits to Berlin because it was risky, though the letter to Obst was not a warning that it was all up. It was absurd to suggest that £SO was paid to him for information communicated to Obst or Marie Louise. Stewart was returned to the Tower after being in the witness box for six and a half hours.
