Another shooting affair like that at Soroca has occurred at Tighinai, on the Roumanian side of the River Dniester, where it forms the frontier between Roumania and Soviet Russia. A party of four people, one of them a Jew named Abraham Silbermann, and the other three non-Jews, wanted to cross the Dniester into Soviet territory, and arranged with a frontier gendarme to take them across. The frontier gendarme pretended to fall in with their plan, and informed his colleagues, and when the refugees came to the spot where they were to meet him, they found a patrol waiting for them. The Jew was shot dead, and the three others have been arrested.
