Three of the twelve Colonial Arabs who were last week acquitted of having murdered the Macleff family and their guests during the riots in Motza, yesterday threatened to kill a Yemenite of Motza for testifying against them. Thanks to the intervention of Arabs from another village the Yemenite escaped.

The would-be assailants also declared that the people of Colonia would massacre all the Jews of Motza with the exception of two families.
