Abraham Stavsky convicted in Jerusalem today of participating in the murder of Dr. Chaim Arlsoroff, was assured of Revisionist support in his fight for vindication.
“We bow to your heroism in this terrible ordeal,” declared a cablegram dispatched to him in the names of Vladimir Jabotinsky, Revisionist leader and Revisionist executive of the Brith Trumpeldor, Revisionist youth organization. “We believe your courage will not fail now. We shall fight on the ruins of the fortresses of our foes.”
To Zvi Rosenblatt, acquitted of the murder charge, the following cable was dispatched; “Jewry, the Revisionists and the Brith Trumpeldor will not forget you heroic spirit. As they wee forced to release out brother, stavsky.”
To Horace Samuel, London attorney who conducted the defense, the Revisionists pledged their entire support.
“Backed by Jewry’s unanimous admiration of your gallant and brilliant stand, we are unshakably resolved with you to continue the fight untilmate victory is ours.”
