wALLER'S TRIAL WAS FAIR.
state Department Has So Decided the
Famous Case.


The termination of the Waller case ap-
pears to bc near at hand. Mrs. Waller, the
wife of the imprisoned consul, has been
notified by the State Department that this
government has concluded that the court
martialwhich trieIaud convicted Waller was
regular. and that there was nothing what
ever crooked in the proceedings. The pre-
lminary to his immediate release from the
French prison is declaimcr from him or
his wife OF any intention to claim an in
demnlty for the arrest and incarceration.
If Waller desires an unconditional relea sc
he can get it. Already intimations have
come from France that if he will agree to
be released and not 10 claim pecuniary in
dcmnity he Will be Immediately given his
liberty.
The French government. however, de-
clines TO entertain any proposition what
ever as to the payment OF an indemnity.
The release of Waller can only he secured
by the Secretary of State asking that il lie
done as an act of courtesy to the United
States.
The proceedings uf the now famous court
martial which convicted Waller in NADIA
Gascar. and which, 1t is claimed, by his
friends, was Irregular and did not give
Waller fair trial, have been in the pos
session OF the state Department for the
past two weeks, and n careful study uf the
papers by SIR. 0lney has satisfied him that
Waller was legally and fairly tried, and
that he has nothing to expect except re-
lease from prison.
Mr.. Olney has communicated these facts
To Mrs. Waller and her attorneys in this
city, with the suggestion that 1t would
be advisable to consult Mr.. Walters wish
in the matter. The attorneys are 10 favor
OF accepting the terms proposed by the Sec
retary in order to- secure the release of
Waller, but Mrs. Waller is not willing To-
do this, and hangs out for financial recon-
pcnse from the French government.
Mrs. Waller insists that her husband shall
not be consulted about the matter by the
state Department, claiming that in his
sick and eDfecbled condition he would be
willing to accept anything that would Sc
cure his liberty.
