Investigating Authorities, However, View Him As Normal Individual (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Jacob Diamond who invaded St. Paul’s Church during Christmas services, wrecking the altar “in revenge for the anti-Jewish pogroms in Roumania,” issued a manifesto from his prison cell declaring himself to be a “prophet and savior.”
Notwithstanding the fact that Diamond is demented, the authorities view him as a normal individual. According to press reports the act of accusation which has already been completed by the district attorney, treats Diamond as a normal person. Preparations are being rushed for the trial which will take place soon.
