The Berlin press is lavish in its praise of Henri Torres, the eminent French-Jewish lawyer and defender of Schwartzbard, who has come to Berlin at the invitation of the German-French Society to lecture on legal subjects.
To a newspaper representative here, Torres stated that the French jury that freed Schwartzbard represented the conscience of the French people. He believes that trial by jury should again be established in Germany.
The Chief Justice of Berlin has ordered that Torres be conducted on a tour of the prison institutions of the German metropolis.
