Seville, September 3, 1937—9
a.m.
[Received September 3—7:27 a.m.]
[Received September 3—7:27 a.m.]
Referring further to the Department’s September 1, 6 p.m. I saw Chief of Staff late last night. He promised to communicate at once, in the absence of General Queipo de Llano, with General Franco to confirm whether or not death sentence has been passed in the case of Dahl and to repeat the Department’s views as before given.
Chief of Staff believes report false that death sentence imposed which supports same opinion in other high quarters.
