The Arab assailant of the Jewish author, Baruch Kapeluk, on August 4th, was sentenced yesterday by Judge Defreites to thirty months imprisonment for stabbing and wounding his victim.

In pronouncing sentence, the judge declared that the crime merits greater punishment, but said, “In view of the fact that you reside near the Wailing Wall, where the atmosphere is poisoned, the responsibility falls partially on your betters.”
