The jury, having deliberated 14 minutes, brought in a verdict of guilty; and soon the Lord Chief Justice imposed upon two makers of "mere mischief" sentences of 10 years imprisonment each. Commenting on the trial, Attorney General Sir Douglas Hogg vigorously stressed his belief that only part of a general Russian-subsidized spy system had been uncovered.
