August 28 was today set by the Berne Court as the opening date of a libel suit against Col. Ulrich Fleischauer, the Nazi “expert” at the recent “Protocols” trial.
The libel action against Col. Fleischauer has been brought by Dr. Tobler, of the large Tobler chocolate manufacturing firm in Berne. It is based on various statements made by Col. Fleischauer in the course of his “expert” testimony at the “Protocols” trial, directed against Freemasonry and especially against Dr. Tobler. Col. Fleischauer also accused Dr. Tobler of perjury when the latter testified in the “Protocols’ trial denying that Freemasons and Jews are associated in a world-wide conspiracy.
Col. Fleischauer pleaded in court today that he be given time to prepare his material against the Freemasons. The judge ordered him to produce before the court his written evidence before June 15 and fixed the opening of the action for Wednesday, August 28.
