American Correspondent Not Yet In

Him

Paris, July 1O.-From one of the
friends of Robert Minor, the social
list, illustrator and correspondent,
who has been under military arres.
and is now freed, the following de-
tails of his experience are OBJ
tained:
Minor was arrested by French de-
tectives on June at his hotel in
Paris. No explanation of his arrest
was vouchsafed him by the police
who briefly questioned him and
seemed excitedly gratified when he
admitted having been in Dusseldorf
Asked why he had first said he had
come to Paris direct from Berlin
Minor replied that such was the
truth, for he had returned to Berlin
from Dusseldorf in February.
The prisoner was taken, under
French escort, by train to the Amerl-
can military prison in Coblen2. where
his "doughboy' guards at first per
sisted in talking to him in German.
After some days he was removed from
his eel and given officers quarters in
house adjoining the prison. He
was also permitted to go for walk
daily, accompanied by an officer

have military counsel he was never
afforded opportunity according to
his friend, to consult with any legal
adviser military or civilian, and he
was, indeed, kept altogether incom-
municado. Until he reached Paris
he was not aware that friends here
had arranged for lawyer to repres-
sent him at his trial.
On July Col. Rucker, who had
been in charge of the case said to
Minor. according 10 his friend: THE
charges will not be pressed at this
time, and you are at liberty to return

please" There was no explanation
of the arrest and Minor learned moth
