The trial of Nicholai Teteu, eighteen year old high school student of Jassy who murdered the Jewish student, David Falik, in the Czernowitz court. Will not take place in Czernowitz. This was learned today when the decision of the Supreme Court of Bucharest was made public, granting the request of Teteu’s attorney, Ilyescu, candidate for election to parliament on the ticket of the anti-Semitic Cuza party from Kimpolung, Bukowina. According to the decision of the Supreme Court, the trial will be transferred from Czernowitz and will take place in Kimpolung during January. The leaders of the anti-Semitic movement in Czernowitz moved for the transfer of the trial, charging that the judges in that city are “under the influence of the Jews.”
