Nicolai Totu, on trial in the Kimpolung court for the murder of the Jewish student David Falik in the Czernowitz courtroom, was acquitted.
The verdict of the court, acquitting the murderer of David Falik, has made a tremendous impression on the Jewish population in Bukowina. Fear exists that in view of the unprecedented leniency toward the murderer, an increased wave of anti-Semitic propganda will sweep Bukowina.
Anti-Jewish attacks took place on the railroads into Kimpolung, where student groups threw Jewish passengers out of the trains. Many Jewish families resident in Kimpolung left the town.
