AFRAID TO TELL
WITNESSES OF MURDERS.
RUMANIANS HiDE IN WOODS.
AN UNCENSORED MESSAGE
(United Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.45 a.m.) LONDON, December 6.
The Iron Guards killed between 350 and 500 people, half of them Jews, in the first Rumanian week of terror, which began on November 27. The Budapest correspondent of the “TeleGraph” says this in an Lincensorod message:
“I have just left Rumania, where I saw the actual slaughter. It is impossible to arrive at a close estimate of the dead. Most of the witnesses of the assassinations are either afraid to tell what they have seen or are in hiding. I estimate that between 100 and 200 intellectuals, politicians, aristocrats and others, have been killed, and hundreds of leading Rumanians are so afraid of the assassinations that they are hiding in the woods.” ' General Antonescu to-day announced a decree providing for court-martial for Rumanians rebelling against the Army. This is believed to be designed to strengthen the Army against the Iron Guard.
