Died.

A soldier of fortune who played his crafty hand against England for more than 40 years, Duquesne dated his checkered career as international intriguer back to the Boer War (1899-1902). A cool, cunning poseur, he signed his reports to Germany with a rubber-stamp cat's paw, claimed to have plotted the sinking (1916) of Lord Kitchener's cruiser Hampshire. Chief G-man J. Edgar Hoover called his concerted FBI swoop (in 1941) on Duquesne's New York City mob the greatest spy roundup in U.S. history.
