The mass of complicated testimony in the hearing of the three Revisionists accused of murdering Dr. Chaim Arlosoroff was further complicated by the witnesses who testified today. Inspector Fadel Jarjura declared that Israel Avivi, Jewish real estate man, never visited Subhi Zablawi in prison, according to the prison register of visitors. Earlier testimony had been introduced alleging that Avivi visited the Arab convict and bribed him to induce Abdul Mejid to confess to the murder of Dr. Arlosoroff.
Corporal Levider Brimdigger testified that Abdul Mejd was well known to the police, that he promenaded through Tel Aviv frequently and that he was known to the police as a “woman hunter.” Abdul had testified earlier that it was more than a year since he had been in Tel Aviv.
