From the Consul in Smyrna (Humbert) to the Embassy in Constantinople

Telegraphic Report



No. 10
Smyrna, 28 July 1915

The local Armenian Archbishop and the relatives of the seven Armenians who were sentenced to death these past few days by the local court-martial because they stored bombs have requested that Your Highness intercede on behalf of a plea for clemency sent by them today by telegram to His Majesty the Sultan. Supposedly, the order from the Ministry of War to hang the convicts has already been issued so that, should Your Highness be prepared to fulfil this request, the matter is urgent.


[Humbert]


[Ambassador Hohenlohe-Langenburg to the Consulate in Smyrna (No. 13), 29 July]

Answer to Tel. No. 10.

Naturally, I cannot intercede on behalf of persons who have been found guilty of treasonous actions.


H[ohenlohe-Langenburg]
