852.2221 Dahl, Harold/58: Telegram
The Consul at Seville (Bay) to the Secretary of State
[Received 1:55 p.m.]
Referring to Department’s telegram of September 10, 5 p.m.,1 I saw Franco [General?] Queipo de Llano September 6th about Dahl [Page 548] and Fernandez cases. The General had just returned from some time spent at the front and was exceedingly worn. No visitors were being received. My visit was now [not?] satisfactory. About Dahl he stated he had no information from General Franco who was now moving about on urgent matters. He said he did not fear that Dahl would be shot. He promised to take up with Salamanca new material submitted about Fernandez. He left shortly afterwards for Santander. Until he returns to Seville I do not believe anything substantial can be accomplished. I am confident however that both these cases were taken up directly by him on my previous visits but recent military activities have delayed their prompt consideration.
