The Consul General at Marseille (Hurley) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:56 p.m.]
Referring to my telegram of April 10, 1 p.m.59 and Department’s telegram No. 162, April 7, 7 p.m. to Paris.
Judge at Coret believes that 15 Americans to be released April 16th will require [apparent omission] to enter Spain. At trial all confessed they had attempted to enter Spain to join army.
Minister of Justice might authorize delivery to the Consulate of passports held by tribunal should the Embassy so request.
Does the Department desire representative of Consulate to attend trial of six Americans at Perpignan April 14 and trial one American April 16? Less evidence against them than in previous case.
