Vladimir Jabot-insky, was severely criticised by the Paris Yiddish daily, “Hajnt” for his attitude toward the defense of Sholom Schwartzbard.
Jabotinsky published an article in the current issue of his Russian weekly, “Razsviet.” In this article he demands that M. Torres permit another attorney to participate in the defense of Schwartzbard, arguing that Torres, being the sole defender of Schwartzbard, will harm him and the Jewish people in view of the fact that be as a pro-Bolshevist will develop the argument from this viewpoint and not along anti-pogrom lines.
The “Hajnt” states that this argument has already been taken into account by those who asked Torres to undertake the defense.
