The trial of Sholom Schwartzbard will not be held before May, it was learned.
It was also learned that M. Henri Torres, counsel for Schwartzbard, has invited Israel Dines, a former resident of the town of Proskurov where a Petlura pogrom took place to come from Argentine to appear as a witness. The Proskurov Landsmanschaft in Argentine will pay Dines’ passage.
