The four youths who were arrested in Arnsberg, Westphalia, for having attacked the local synagogue in an attempt to wreck it, were fined from 150 to 300 Marks each.

The court described the action of the prisoners as “mean vandalism.”

The attorney representing the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith at the proceedings contradicted the report published yesterday which alleged that the police discovered evidence on one of the four arrested showing that there was a conspiracy of anti-Semites on foot for a wholesale wrecking of synagogue.

A sum in excess of $90,000 is distributed among twenty-six relatives and six charities under the will of Henry F. Veith. a retired importer of precious stones, who died March 13, an application for probate in New York Surrogate’s Court showed.

Five of the Jewish charitable institutions in New York receive $2,000 each. They are the Mount Sinai Hospital, the Montefiore Home for Chronic Diseases, the Hebrew Infant Asylum, the Home for Aged and Infirm Hebrews and the Madison House.
