NURSE CAVELL'S BETRAYER.
A SINISTER FIGURE. LONDON, March 21. The Daily Telegraph's Brussels correspondent states that the trial of Armand Jeannes, who is charged with the berayal of Nurse Cavell and other allied nationals, is producing most sensational incidents. The evidence shows that Jeannes is a most curious type and the product of modern, unhealthy, detective literature. He took a mad and passionate interest in police work, which was the only thing he did well during his whole life-time. He has a mania known as “Policeana,” a new form of insanity. His self-assur-ance is colossal, and he has a trick of gnashing his teeth, which combined with his malignant, circular glance conveys a most sinister impression. Jeannes is defended by an officially appointed counsel, others refusing to act voluntarily. When the prisoner arrived at the Court a multitude of men and women howled with rage and bitterness, the police intervening to save Jeannes from the fury of the mob, who otherwise would assuredly have lynched him.
