While the “Pester Lloyd” reports new anti-Semitic disturbances in various parts of Roumania, although it does not give any details as to places, the Jews of Roumania are astonished at the unexpected acquittal of the three notorious anti-Semitic agitators, Carol Danila, Nicolai Totu and M. Eremi. The court found them not guilty of instigating and taking part in the anti-Semitic excesses at Kimpolung because they pleaded that they had left Kimpolung before the attacks on the Jews began.

The acquittal of this trio of anti-Semitic agitators, for two of whom the police had searched for more than a fortnight, follows shortly after the acquittal and release of Zelea Codreanu, leader of the anti-Semitic organization, the Iron Guard.
