The seven Jews from Targufromos who had been in prison for several weeks since they were arrested following a clash with anti-Semitic students were released today by the district attorney of Jassy. Two others had been released several days ago when they proved that they were not in Targufromos during the clash.
The arrest of these Jews had stirred great resentment among the Jews in Roumania since the trouble in Targufromos was reported to have been started by Cuzist students returning from an election victory. While under arrest they were said to have been badly maltreated. A report on the Targufromos incident by Inspector Coma had censured the Jassy police prefect for his treatment of the Jews and recommended his removal.
