Isaac Frydman, 29-year-old Jew, sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for participation in rioting in the town of Przytyk in March, 1936, finally won his freedom today after his fourth re-trial. The Court of Appeals ruled that it was not proved he had fired a gun during the disorders, and that if he had fired, the act was in self-defense.
Frydman was one of the eleven Jews sentenced by the District Court at Radom on June 26, 1936, in addition to 39 Poles, on charges arising out of the anti-Jewish excesses at Przytyk in which two Jews and one Pole were killed and scores of Jews wounded.
