AT MATA HARI’S EXECUTION

”…Then she fell backward, bending at the waist, with her legs doubled up beneath her. She lay prone, motionless, with her face turned towards the sky.
A non-commissioned officer, who accompanied a lieutenant, drew his revolver from the big, black holster strapped about his waist. Bending over, he placed the muzzle of the revolver almost – but not quite – against the left temple of the spy.

He pulled the trigger, and the bullet tore into the brain of the woman. Mata Hari was surely dead.
—Henry Wales, International News Service, 19 October 1917
