Rudolph Haas, German-Jewish merchant held on a frame-up charge of murder, was released from jail as the result of a decision handed down by the Court of Appeals. The Court invalidated the order of arrest issued against Haas.
It is expected that the trial of Schroeder, the confessed murderer and robber of Helling, will reveal the entire plot of the anti-Semitic ring in Magdeburg.
The metropolitan press published today excerpts from Rudolf Haas’s diary, from which it is evident that the German-Jewish merchant knew in advance of a plot directed against him by the anti-Semitic ring. “The days of anxiety which I live through are a greater burden than the months spent in the trenches on the battlefront,” Haas wrote in his diary.
