Executed August 31st, 1944
Mr Basto was using a code based on the game of bridge to send information to Macao. He resisted his interrogators until the last, asking at his trial for a pack of cards and a handbook so he could demonstrate that the notes that the Japanese had found were genuine bridge problems.
