Pete:
I thought that it was possible that an Arabic-speaking newspaper
might have sent one of their reporters to
interview Ali at the beginning of the May 14th Session of the
Inquest.
If it was a French and Arabic-speaking female reporter, it
wasn't one from New York City. If it had been a French-speaking
reporter from New York City, she would have been identified
since there were very few female reporters in the city ( Nellie
Bly,
Elizabeth Bisland, Jane Croly, Winfred Sweet). The report in the
paper you found and the other one that I found emanated from
New York City.
The first Arabic newspaper in America was launched in April
1892.
Kawkab America (Arabic: كوكب
أميركا, 'Star of America' or
literal translation 'Planet of America') was an Arabic-language
weekly (later daily) newspaper published in New York City
which began publishing on April 15, 1892.
It doesn't appear that there were any female reporters at New
York-based Courrier des États-Unis, La Patrie, or Le Drapeau
National......according to a deep dive using A.I.
A.I. can't prove that there weren't any....just that none can be
found.
I have no idea as to whom she could have been.
