A Spanish Protestant minister, Mr. George S. Ben Oliel, faces severe punishment after a Catholic official funeral incident in Alcoy. He was fined and jailed, appealing to Valencia, then moved to a lighter sentence. Reports describe prison conditions as filthy and harsh, prompting British diplomatic appeals through the Foreign Office to Madrid.
