       AMBASSADE
       DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE
       AUX ÉTATS-UNIS
       Washington 3 March 1902
       Sir,
       During my visit to Albany in January last, I had
       the honor to call your kind attention to the case of "Amer
       ben Ali" a French citizen from Algeria, known by the
       name of "Frenchy" requesting you to tbe good enough to
       exercise executive clemency in his behalf.
       Mr. Ovide Robillard notified "Frenchy's Attorney has
       me that he has submitted to your Excellency proof, recently
       discovered, which would warrant the granting of the favor
       which this Embassy has endeavored to obtain for several
       years.
       Hoping that the new request I beg to submit to you
       will be favorably received, I have the honor to remain, Sir,
       Very truly yours,
       Jules Cambon
       His Excellency
       B.B. Odell, Governor of
       State of New York, Albany, (N.Y.)
       From Gov. Odell back to Cambon:
       Hon. Jules Cambon,
       March 5, 1902.
       French Ambassador, Washington, D. C.
       Sir:-
       I am in receipt of your faver of the 3rd. inst. concerning the
       case of Amer Ben Ali. Owing to a press
       of legislative work I have not been considering pardon cases,
       but shall take those matters up upon
       the adjournment of the Legislature, which will probably be in
       the course of the next three or four weeks.
       I will then take action in the case you refer to.
       Very truly yours
