CONDEMNED JEW
PROTEST FROM WARSAW APPEAL TO KING AND QUEEN (Received June 27, 6.21 p.m.) WARSAW, June 26 Forty thousand Jews marched in the Jewish quarter as a protest against the death sentence passed in Jerusalem upon Solomon ben Joseph, after which a women's meeting decided to appeal to Queen Elizabeth to urge King George VI. to intervene. A men's meeting decided to appeal to the King and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Solomon ben Joseph was sentenced to death for carrying arms and firing upon a bus in Jerusalem. His counsel said that if the sentence were carried out it would be the first time a Jew had been executed in Palestine since the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D.
