(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

A heartrending appeal for justice was made by the Jewish student, Lespesianu, who completed the eleventh day of his hunger strike yesterday. Writing from prison, Lespesianu stated that he hopes the authorities will not take upon themselves the responsibility for the death of an absolutely innocent man.

“I know that death will acquit me. I am ready. As I wrote to the public prosecutor, I appeal with my last strength to public opinion.”
