The Rudolf Haas case will be brought before the Prussian Diet as a result of a motion introduced by the Socialist group.
The motion demands that a parliamentary investigation committee be appointed to inquire into the proceedings of the Magdeburg authorities in encouraging and maintaining the frame-up charges against the Jewish merchant, Rudolf Haas, despite the confession of the murderer, Schroeder.
Investigating Judge Koelling, who was principally responsible for the affair, suddenly gave up the fight, announcing that he is going on a vacation. The Republican press criticizes sharply the attitude of Judge Koelling, declaring that it was “an undignified manner of accepting defeat.” The Berlin detectives have accomplished in a few hours what Judge Koelling failed to discover in several months, the papers declare.
