New York U.R) Freder ick Jourbert Duquesne, 78, in ternational adventurer and a spy in three wars against the Brit ish, died at City hospital Thurs day of a heart attack, it was learned Saturday, Duquesne had been released from a federal prison hospital in 1954 after serving a term for pre-Pearl Harbor Nazi espion age in the United States.l He had been under treatment at City hospital since February with a broken hip. - The tale of Duquesne's life is a fantastic mixture of . almost unbelievable fact and self-spun fiction. A native of South Afri ca, he acquired an-undying hat red of the British during the Boer War, when he served with the Dutch, was captured by the British, imprisoned, and return ed to find, he said, that the British had burned his home and slaughtered his family. In World War I, he was charg ed by the British with blowing up the S. S. Tennyson in South American waters, causing the loss of several lives. He was ar rested in 1917 in New York and placed on trial for arson and insurance fraud for setting fire to a Brooklyn warehouse and claiming insurance for $33,000 worth of a non-existing film. While he was awaiting trial, the British asked that he be turned over to them for "extra murder on the high seas." Duquesne feigned paralysis so convincingly in city prison that he was transferred to the Bel levue hospital prison ward, from which he escaped. He was re arrested in 1932, posing "as "Mr. T. De Trafford Craven, an Eng lishman in this city on import ant affairs." No one believed that, but the British were no longer interest ed in prosecuting and Duquesne went free. . '., In the meantime, Duquesne had claimed he was responsible for the death of Lord Kitchener in the Sinking of a British cruis er in World War I. The British said that was preposterously in accurate. ' Before his 1917 arrest, Du quesne had attempted to escape detection by sending a dispatch to the New York Times report ing his death at the hands of Bolivian Indians and returning to New York as an Australian cavalry hero, Capt Claude Stoughton. He made patriotic speeches at Liberty Bond rallie and generally cut a brave figure until he was unmasked. . : In 1941 he was arrested as a member of Nazi spy ring, con victed, and sentenced to 18 years in prison. He was still on proba tion at the time of his death. BEACHCOMBER EMS AT BEACHCOMBER PRICES!
