B0L0 IS PUT TO DEATH
AS TRAITOR IN FRANCE
Important Revelations, Involv-!
ing Others, Reported to
Have Been Made I
lMrln, April 17.
Bolo I'asha. who was sentenced to
death for treason on February 14, has
been executed.
The execution took place ut Vln
cennes. In his few last living days Bolo made
Important relevatlons which arc said to
Involve others.
Taul Bolo, whoso career has been
closed by tho French Government, was
born n Marseilles. He studied for the
law, but forsook that honorable pro
fession for occupations which were
varied and hazardous.
Ho was Identified In several enter
prises which failed, and then ho drifted ,
to Paris, where. In 1891, ho war con- I
Tlcted of abuse of confidence and
swindling. He later went to Valencia,
Spain. In 1903 he married a widow
who had an annual Income of $14,000, ,
and became all agent for champagne
and other wines.
Just before the world war broke out.
In 1914, Bolo entered Into 'a new phase
of work, which took him to Egypt,
where he met Abbas Hllml, then the
Khedive, for whom he became a trusted
agent. From the Khedive Bolo received
the title of Pasha.
Following the flight of Abban Hllml
to Switzerland, In 1915, Bolo met him
at Zurich, In company with the then
German Foreign Minister, Gottlieb Ja
row, and an arrangement was- made to
turn over to Bolo a sum of t2.600.00u.
to be paid In Installments through the
former khedlve. for tho purpose of In
fluencing the French press. Of this sum
about J 1,000,000 was paid through Swiss

In February, 191G, Bolo came to
America. The Deutsche Bank, of Ber
lin. Is said to have turned over to
Bolo a sum of J2.000.000, which was de
posited In this country. Disclosures
made by the United States Government
relative to his activities in this coun
try brought about his acrest.
