Fifteen of 31 persons arrested yesterday during clashes between Mosleyites and anti-fascists are Jews, it was revealed here today by the North London Police Court. One fascist demonstrator was fined $8.00 while the other 30 persons arrested–all of whom were released on bail will be tried next week.

The whereabouts of Capt. Roy Alexander Farran, acquitted of killing Alexander Rubovitz, 18, in Palestine last year, were being kept strictly secret today following the accidental killing of his brother, Rex, in Wolverhampton. The death occurred when Farran’s brother opened a package of books addressed to the former British Army officer causing a bomb concealed in one of the volumes to explode.
