Execution of German spy

LONDON, Dec. I0 ~ (CPt-A German spy was executed this morning at Wandsworth prison, the Home office announced today. - He was identified as Karel Rich- ard Richter, a Sudeten Gezman born Jan. 20, 1912, in Kraslice.

The Home Office said he was convicted under the Treachery Act after a secret trial and that his appeal. heard Nov. 24. was dis- missed.

An authoritative statement said Richter parachuted to a landing in England near the Hertfordshire village of London Colney on the night of May 13. ,

He hid in a wood for nearly two days. it said, and “20 minutes after he emerged from his hiding place he was in the hands of the police."

This speedy capture, the state- ment added, came about because a lost truck driver on Richterls emergence from the wood shouted at him for directions.

A police constable then appeared and the truck driver, in a casual remark, spoke “about an unhelp- ful stranger who was then only a dozen yards away."

The policeman immediately foi- lowed Richter, questioned him and, unsatisfied with the answers, took him to the nearest police station. where there was further question- ing arid a search. '

"There was found on him sev- eral hundred pounds of money in British and United States cur- rency," the statement added. "He also had a map of the eastern counties and a D0014" 911111131155- He was wearing a civilian suit. three pairs of woolien pants and two pairs of socks."
