The Baskin trial which has been dragging since 1929, when Maurice Baskin, a United States citizen was arrested, largely as the result of the investigations of the London Jewish Association for the Protection of Girls and Women, on the charge of going through fictitious marriages with women to enable them to enter the Unitod States, was concluded here to-day.
Baskin was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment. His accomplices, with the exception of one, Altschuler, who was acquitted, were given more severe sentences, Moses Iglicki being sent to prison for three years, Natanson for 2½ years, and Fishbein for one year, and the rest for three months.
