Moses Aaron Weintraub who was charged with incitement which led to the shooting affray in the courtyard of the synagogue in Lukov last February, has been acquitted, according to a report which has just been received here, contradicting the earlier report, according to which (given in yesterday’s J.T.A. Bulletin), Weintraub had been sentenced to two month’s imprisonment.

The sentence of three months’ imprisonment passed on Jacob Gruenblatt, who fired his revolver during the disturbance, injuring Gershon Seizak, holds good.
