Of the seven Arabs from Hebron who are accused of being implicated in the slaughter in the house of Rabbi Slonim, five, including two notables, have been committed to trial on a charge of premeditated murder, and two have been discharged because there was only one witness against them and the law requires at least two.

Four Arabs charged with looting the house of Gozlan in Hebron have been acquitted for lack of evidence. The Mayor, thirteen muktahrs and four members of the Hebron municipality as well as nine muktahrs from neighboring villages will be arraigned tomorrow in the hearing on collective punishments for Hebron.
