Jennie Goodhartz, American-Jewish citizen of Philadelphia, who with her father Sam has been held in Karlsruhe prison since last July on charges of violating Germany’s exchange laws, was released today pending trial.
News of the release was given the Jewish Telegraphic Agency by United States Consul Hoenniger in Stuttgart, who has intervened in the case and is pressing for trial before the end of the month.
Mr. Goodhartz continued to be held in jail. Miss Goodhartz’s passport is still detained by the authorities.
