Christmas Denounced by Attorney Over Danish Islands Plot
Carl Fischer Hansen, attorney for Walter Christmas, denounces his former client’s secret Danish report as defamatory and outrageous. He recounts Christmas’s involvement in earlier island sale talks tied to American officials, suggesting the report aimed at personal gain and noting subsequent shifts in Danish government. Suspected murder arrests follow a butcher’s body found in a burned shop, with a watch tied to one suspect. Governor’s Day set for April 22 at the Georgia Chautauqua with a large military pageant across Albany streets.
