ASKS INDEMNITY OF FRANCE.
Dr. Cornelius Herr Demands $5,00O,000
for Alleged Persecution.

Washington, Jan. 12-Messrs Often
hofer Lauterbach and Limburger,
counsel for DIR. Cornelius Herr, appear
ed before Solicitor Penfield at the
state department and presented a claim
for idemnity in the sum OF $1,000, 900
against the French government for an
alleged illegal attempt TO prosecute DIR.
Herr. The case is remarkable in many
ways, and, II is said at the state de-
partment. is without a precedent. The
facts in brief are that DIR. Herr. whose
name stands very high in scientific
circles as an electrician and physicist.
although born in France Of French par
erts, is an American citizen.
When he was about 3 years OF age
his parents canine to New York and ac-
quired American citizenship. Young
Herr was educated in the New York
Free academy, now the college of the
city of New York. and received two de-
grees. He rounded this out by courses
in Heidelberg and other great Euro
pean universities. At the age of 16
years he was lieutenant in the United
States army. In 1871 he was charged
by the municipal authorities Of Chicago
with a mission in connection with the
reconstruction of the city after the fire..
Jan. 10, 1893 his troubles began. He
was stopping at Bournemouth, England.
with his wife, in bad health, when he
was arrested under extradition proceed
ings on a warrant from the French
government charging him with fraud
and embezzlement growing out of the
Panama canal scandal.
Under the law a prisoner wanted for
extradtion must appear at the Bow
street police court. Herr was confined
to his bed, and so unable to appear. The
case was kept open and he was contin-
ued under arrest in his bed four years.
Then the British parliament came to
his relief and passed a special act that
permitted the magistrate to attend
Herz's bedside and take his testimony.
This was done, and the magistrate
promptly declared that the charges
were utterly invalid and scarcely de-
serving notice. That was on May 2,
1896. and Herr was released from ar
rest Meanwhile the French govern
ment had instituted numerous proceed
ings against him in France and confis-
