The ten orthodox Jews who were arrested last Saturday for attacking non-religious Jews in the streets of this city for not observing the Sabbath, were released on bail today.
The trial of the ten will open Tuesday. They are all members of the Shomre Shabbath organization, formed to stimulate observance of the Sabbath in Palestine. They are accused of smashing the windows of Jewish shops open on the Sabbath, and of attacking Jews whom they found riding in taxis.
