The 41 prisoners who were found guilty of taking part in the anti-Jewish excessos which occurred in Berlin last Rosh Hashanah, will stand their trial here again on Thursday week, December 17th., when the case will come up for revision before the Appeal Court on the appeal lodged by the Counsel for the Defence.
The appeal covers both trials, the first, in which a number of the participants were found guilty and sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, and the second when Count Helldorf, the Berlin Commandant of the Young Hitlerist Storm Troops and several other leaders who were accused of directing the excesses were found guilty of having taken part in the attacks on the Jews, and sent to prison.
