The Czernowitz Appeal Court has for the twelfth time postponed the trial of the Rumanian gendarmes accused of torturing Samson Bronstein, the Poale Zion leader in the township of Jedinetz, in an attempt to induce him to make a false confession of Communist activity.
When the trial was opened, the court was told that two important witnesses were absent, and it therefore postponed the trial till November 27.
The torturing of Bronstein occurred in June 1932 and the trial had originally been fixed for the following month. More than two years have now elapsed without the accused being brought up for trial.
