Another attempt was made by the Hitler organ, “Westdeutscher Beobachter,” to circulate a ritual murder tale in connection with the trial of the schoolboy Hussman, in Essen, for the murder of his schoolmate Daube, both non-Jews.
The newspaper published a drawing which it claimed depicted a Jewish ritual murder. The police confiscated the issue, as it did several days ago when the paper carried a similar drawing.
Hussman is a member of the nationalistic student organization. This organization, it is understood, is making efforts to bring about his acquittal.
