News of the release was given the Jewish Telegraphic Agency by United States Consul Hoenniger in Stuttgart, who has intervened in the case and is pressing for trial before the end of the month.
Mr. Goodhartz continued to be held in jail. Miss Goodhartz’s passport is still detained by the authorities.
