The trial of eight people charged with responsibility for the anti-Semitic outbreak in the town of Kunmadaras which took the lives of three Jews was halted late yesterday after three days of testimony had been heard, when the authorities decided that the case should be transferred from the military court to the jurisdiction of a peoples court. An official announcement said that the military tribunal had been found incompetent to judge the case properly.
