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.

Expected Much... and Got More !
He had heard it time and again from his
friends who drive Cadillacs.
He had heard, for instance, of Cadillac's
marvelous performance . . . and of
Cadillac's great comfort and handling
ease . . . and of the satisfaction that comes
to the man at the wheel.
And so, when he took the keys to his
first Cadillac, he thought he knew what
to expect from the "car of cars".
Well, here he is a few miles out on his
maiden journey and he's learning - a
great truth about Cadillac: that nothing
can adequately prepare a man Jor Cadillac
ownership, save the experience itself.
How, for instance, could anyone fully
foresee the joys of owning a new Cadillac?
It gives a man a sense of pride and a feeling
of fulfillment that literally defy description.
Or how could anyone anticipate the
thrill of driving a new Cadillac? Smooth
and quiet . . . eager and responsive ...
restful and relaxing it simply has no
counterpart on the world's highways.
And how could anyone foreknow the
many other pleasures that await him . . .
. . . the joy of finding that his Cadillac, ..
with all its quality and character, is
among the most practical of motor cars to .
own and operate ...
. . . and the satisfaction we believe he will
find in his relationship with us as his
Cadillac dealer and in our honest con
cern with his motoring well-being.
Yes, it's a wonderful thing, this educa
tion in the ways of Cadillac ownership
and we hope that you will stop in soon for
a personal preview of the experience.
We think you will be delighted to learn
how quickly you can get delivery and to
find how much your current car is worth
to us in trade.
