PALESTINE TERRORISM
STILL WIDESPREAD PLEA BY COUNSEL FOR JEW (Received June 25, noon.) JERUSALEM, June 24. Widespread terrorism continues, three persons being killed and ten wounded in the past twenty-four hours. Three Jewish youths who were kidnapped when returning home from work are feared to be dead. Unsuccessfully appealing against the death sentence passed on Solomon Ben Joseph for firing on a bus and for carrying arms, counsel said that if it was carried out it would be the first time a Jew had been executed in Palestine since the destruction of the Temple of Herod the Great in the year 70 A.D. Appeals for clemency have been received from Jewish communities all over the world.
