The two Jewish workers, Tofenko and Bodonin, employed in the Soviet glass factory, Octiabr, at Bobruisk, who sought to avenge the tortures of Miss Dreize Barshay by pouring boiling glass on her assailants, were sentenced to imprisonment by the Bobruisk court.
At the close of their trial today the court imposed a sentence of three years strict isolation on Bodonin and two years for Tofenko. Because of the application of the amnesty decree in White Russia, their sentences were reduced to one half.
