In Madrid the Duchess of Valencia was convicted of high treason for monarchist activities and sentenced to one year in prison.

The trial was military and nonjury, with findings not publicly released. The prosecution sought three years for Lujan Maria Nervaez Y. Macias, a noblewoman repeatedly jailed and fined over 1,000,000 pesetas for aiding the pretender Don Juan.
