Frank Heine, who was charged with the forgery of the "secret treaty," which caused a stir recently, has been ordered by an Antwerp Court to pay £30 damages [1] to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on a charge of plagiarism.
While working for an Antwerp newspaper, Heine wrote a serial story, which was declared to have been based on one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's own stories.
