WOMAN FAILS TO

" .
Spy Fails to Win Reprieve
From Officer' Commanding
Soldiers Ready to
Shoot Her.
London, April 26. A graphic
itory is related respecting the in
spiration for Sir William Oppen's
now famous painting, "The Refu
gee." The picture is said to be a portrait
of Frieda Nieter, a young Hungarian
woman who made her way into the
region occupied by the allies on the
western front, captivated .nany
French and Belgian officers with her
beauty and liveliness and was tried
and executed for being a German
spy.
The story is ascribed to Robert
Nichols, the young British poet, who
gave the following account cf Frieda
Nieter's death scene:
"Under the mask of a refugee
from the despotism of Hungarian
rule, Frieda Nieter came to Beleium,
where for more' than two years, al
though constantly under suspicion as
a spy, she managed to evade arrest.
The secret of her success was the
charm she exercised over the French
and Belgian officers. She was a rav
ishing beauty, with masses of go'Men
hair and innocent blue eyes. There
was not an officer with whom she
came in contact who did not fall vic
tim to her bewitching face and for i.
"But, as is true of all spies, she
finally overreached herself and drew
to the notice of the intelligence de-
partment evidence of her operations
too clear to be misunderstood.
"She was trierf by a military court
and ordered to be shot at the dawn
of thjf following day. She accepted
the- findings without emotion and
without protest, but she said she had
one request to make of the court
This was that she be permitted to
face her executioners in a costume
of her own choosing. The request
was granted.
"The following morning Frieda
Nieter was led into the courtyard of
an ancient chateau and was confront
ed by a firing squad commanded by
an officer who, before her exposure,
had long been an ardent admirer.
She wore a magnificent cloak of
dark blue velvet trimmed with fur,
which completely covered her. She
did not flutter an eyelid, but was as
cool and self-possessed as though
she had not a care in the world. She
had nothing to say. The firing squad
formed itself about 20 paces from
her. She was not even blindfolded.
a " 'Get ready!' rang out the officer's
;ommand.
"The soldiers raised their rifles.
"'One!'
"'Twol' the officer continued
lharply. '
"With the word 'two' the beautiful
woman threw off her cloak, letting
It fall slowly to the ground, and re
vealed herself nude to the astonished
officer and men.
"I was clear in an instant to the
officer that the spy had sought by
this display of her compelling beauty
to win from him a reprieve. There
was a pause for a moment, when the
officers resolute voice again was
heard, this time uttering the fateful
Three 1"
"There whs a crash of rifles, and
Frieda Nieter fell in a heap to the
ground, her career ended."
