Abdul Mejid, Arab convict who declared that two of the Revisionist defendants held for the murder of the Zionist labor leader, Dr. Chaim Arlosor-off offered him £1,000 to confess the murder, is a “stool pigeon” and a police informer, Isaac Hamsoni, testifying for the defense, declared yesterday. The witness alos declared that Abdul Mejid was known to report to the police frequently and had a habit of promenading through the streets of Tel Aviv frequently. Abdul Mejid stated earlier that he had not been in Tel Aviv for a long time.
Earlier in the day, Subhi Zablawi, another convict alleged to have acted as go-between in the affair, testified that Israel Avivi and Jacob Hillelson, Jewish land brokers, had offered him £500 if he extracted a confession of the murder of Dr. Arlosoroff from Abdul Mejid.
Three Revisionists, Abraham Stavsky, Zvi Rosenblatt and Aba Achimeier, are accused of the murder.
