Kurt Mertig and Ernest S. Elmhurat, two of the three “Christian Frontiers” who were convicted of unlawful assembly and breach of the peace as a result of charges brought by members of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States, last February, heard their original sentences upheld today, in a unanimous decision handed down by the Appellate Division of the State of New York.
Merting and Elman at, received six-month sentences and Homer Maertz, the last member of the trio, was sentenced to one year, following their arrest for distributing anti-Semitic material at a meeting in Queens Village, N.Y., last October.
