Corporal Ralph Osman of Brooklyn, who was recently cleared of charges of being a spy, is due to arrive here this morning on the United States Army Transport Chateau Thierry, it was announced by Louis Waldman, attorney and Socialist leader, who returned yesterday from Cristobal, Canal Zone, where he successfully defended the Jewish corporal on an appeal from a sentence of twenty years imprisonment.
Waldman was met by the parents of Corporal Osman, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Osman, of 995 Clarkson street, Brooklyn. Both the parents and the attorney will greet the young man this morning at Waldman’s office.
Corporal Osman was restored to duty with full honors and given a furlough. “Army politics” was blamed by Waldman for his client’s arrest.
