The trial of a group of anti-Semitic plotters who were responsible for the anti-Jewish atrocities and the throwing of bombs by the forces of Commander Ivan Hejjas, began here today. The defense of the accused was taken over by Deputy Ulain, who defended the Scongrad bomb conspirators.
The proceeding started with a controversy between the presiding judge and Deputy Ulain. The judge checked Ulain’s attempt to introduce anti-Semitic propaganda and Ulain left the courtroom in protest.
Startling revelations were made by Marffy, one of the accused. He stated he had acted on the authority of Commander Hejjas and Pronay. He also stated that the Ministers of Interior and War were aware of his activities and they lent him military barracks for his men.
