An attempt to accuse a Jewish baker of ritual murder in order to cover up their own crime, resulted today in the arrest of two members of the anti-Semitic Nara party, who will probably be sentenced to death for murder.
One of the two is the president of the local Nara organizations in the township of Szduvowiec, district of Radom, where the murder occurred. The other is his assistant, Stanislaw Pajak.
Both members of the anti-Semitic party are accused of killing the town official Josef Gowalczynski, after robbing him. In order to disguise their deed, they spread the rumor that the official was killed by a local Jewish baker for Passover ritual.
Police officials, soon after the investigation was started, traced the murder to the two members of the Nara party. Both were arrested and will be tried for murder.
