Two 15-year-old girls were tried in local Juvenile court on charges of tearing from their sockets and overturning a number of headstones in the Old Jewish Cemetery here. The cemetery has been ravaged before in recent years. The defendants, who claimed they had acted without outside instigation, were each fined ten deutschemark, the equivalent of $2,40.
