Consul Seeks Jail Space in Constantinople for Theft Case
Consul Charles E. B. Allen asks the state department for permission to hire a jail in Constantinople to detain six former American army men and Turkish conspirators tied to a $20,000 theft from the American Commission for Relief in the Near East. The Turkish police provide lodgings, but the chief resists long detention. The embassy basement, once used as a jail, is now an office for George Wythe, the trade commissioner. A $1,000 fund could cover only two months’ rent for an outside jail, while inmates claim high living costs spurred the thefts and argue the goods were stolen before reaching charity.
