Prince Louis Windischgraetz and the Budapest chief of police, Emery Nadossy, have been sentenced to four years' imprisonment for their attempt to wreck the Bank of France and restore monarchy in Hungary with forged francs. But the Government of Hungary, which knew all about this gigantic conspiracy, still stands; and the trial was conducted not as an effort to punish criminals but as a patriotic demonstration. The crime that wounded the judge was that of the Dutch officials and French detectives who uncovered the conspiracy; he had only respect for the "patriotic motives" of the forgers. Those who could not be saved were sacrificed to placate the French; the "higher-ups" were protected.
