368.1121 Stephano, Christopher/3: Telegram

The Minister in Greece (MacVeagh) to the Secretary of State

39. My telegram No. 34, March 10, 9 p.m. Pistolaki was in hiding here and not with the fleet and has now surrendered himself to the authorities. Stephano seemed about to be released today when he unaccountably volunteered to the examiner that Pistolaki had received a letter from Venizelos a few days before the outbreak and that he knew this because he himself was with Pistolaki in the latter’s house at the time. He is accordingly still under detention but being treated with leniency.
