When til waa complete be leaned forward to the MMtatant provost marshal general In idrarge of the execution and said to him : "Perhaps you will not care to shake hand* w^-b a apy, but will you do rfo with a German officer?" On June 30, 1015, the Tower of Ix>u don wa* tbo scene of the execution of two Oennau epiea "B" and "C" Roth were rerprewentative of the type more idomfty associated wrtb the spy likely to succeed in obtaining valuable Irifor mat i. mi . The two men ,had been work ing ,in conjunction wit^ each other, and Vt waa thought to be in keeping that they should die in the name chair from the birflots of the same firing party in the rifle range where their predecessors had paid the last penalty. "B" waM .one of the moat valuable *py captures made in Kngland. A hand some looking man of about 30 year* of ?ge, six feet high, he approachcd very nearly to the ?py of fiction in that he retrained absolutory eooi from the time of Mm arrest until his career ended. "11" took his condem nation at court martial very coolly. Ho gave uo trouble after wUrti, and went 'to his death on July 30 wit'h a calmness Which was perhaps not altogether anaumed. A quartet of an hour later "II V accomplice, "0" waa led forth under military escort and waa placed in the chair from whioh only a few minutes previously the dead body, of his fellow spy had been removed. "C" had treated his captors with the typical arrogance of the Trillion officer from the time of hits arrest; he exuded ingclcnch tt) the la^t. Entering the rifle r*ange he Waa smoking a cigarette and unconcernedly puffed at H while the preparations for his execution went on.

A slow ?p?>uk ing, Jierioualy deliberate type of man, be protoably gained a certain amount of In* formation owing to bla utter lack of ronombtawe to preconceived notions of a apy.

He was incarcer ated in Wandsworth prison and was taken to the Tower to be shot on the day following ^Sept. 11, 1917. For reasons connected with certain of his aeconvpMcca the sentence was not car ried out for another seven days.
