A number of papers reported (obviously erroneously) in February, 1916 that she had been executed as a spy: "ACTRESS SHOT AS A SPY CLEVELAND, Feb. 15—Sari Petrass, Hungarian actress, has been executed as a spy. She was noted over the continent as a beauty. Hungarians of this city just received word that she was caught obtaining information from Austrian officers and sending it to England." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88085187/1916-02-15/ed-...
