A widespread plot engineered by anti-Semitic leaders to wreck synagogues and Jewish temples was uncovered by the police.
The police arrested four men in connection with the recent attack on a synagogue at Arnsberg, Westphalia, Prussia. On one of the arrested men documents were found showing the extent of the conspiracy.
In several Prussian communities local Jewish citizens volunteered to act as guards to watch the synagogues during the night.
