The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-12-19

At Moscow, in the Khamovniky section on the night
before the twelfth Of March, the big auditorium of the
Second University burst into blossom 1t blossom
ed with the lilacs of eyes And because OF this the
faded eyes Of the Nachpur, Comrade Antonov, also
turned lilac and HIS voice became lilacs
for Antonov speaking about the jubilee of the party
And after Antonov, the Trumpet" spoke, and re-
called the days of underground work in the time of the
car others with faded spoke and brot up remhis
cences. Their speeches revived the llacs that had
faded away in distant prisons. They threw it in cus-
ters to the audience GROWING the young heads.
And from all sides of the spacious hail. little folded
notes streamed like white brook over the heads-a
brook that seemed to thru the tangled moss of
hair.
The notes contained greetings to Lenin, wishes for
his rapid recovery; and from all these notes. whether
written well or badly in smooth style cumsiy there
seemed to rise the odor of newormed calus unspent
sweat, untitled grains.
And when the elected being transferred from
the Comsomol to the party and each of the
ferred, swayed by whrwind of emotions made his
way to the table, received the candidates card Buk-
harms booket-"The A. B. C. of Communism'-and
jubilee badge. the audience choked in the frenzied
waving OF arms uproar of shouts ringing of congra-
lations, and the orchestra drowned in the wild
clamor Of the youngsters threats.
whirlwind of stormy Joy swept thru the audience
1t beat against the walls in a frenzied impact And
there was Vanka in the audience just as there were
no other vankas. Kolkas Petkas. Dunkas. Mankas.
There was one manyeyed many-headed monster: one
JOY played in its breast love famed up one devo-
ton and readiness for sacrifice
And when Mitry approached the tribune vanka
shouted with all his might closing his eyes in his fren-
zied exertion
"Mitry, remember, don't disgrace the ComssmoI
Be true helper to Ilyich. :"
And people turned toward vanka and saw his I'M
calmly little figure enveoped in the food of JOY And
Vanka yanked out notebook from his pocket tore out
page, and began feverishly to scrawl on II in an
uneven hand; then he passed it his neighbor and
whispered:

OTTO ROTHST TOCK, CON-
FEE S S E d MURDERER OF
BETTAUER, WILL BE AC-
Quilted IN VIENNA.
Explains His Motive Was Racial
Hatred
tJewish Telegraphic Agency


Nienna--Otto Rothstock. % year old
dental student. accused of shooting to
death Hugo Bettauer. Austrian writer
and correspondent for American news
papers. as a result of race hatred, stood
today before a jury in the court of
Vienna, endeavoring to explain his act
of murder by religious motives.
During the testimony Rothstock de.
clarcd that Jesus the son of God. came
down to this earth to fight the sons of
Satan, and | was born to continue this
fight. My shot was intended to cause
the awakening of the German nation
to brutal and determined fight"
When the presiding Judge asked the
accused. what religion justifes mur-
der?" Rothstock replied: 81 had the
authorization of God Himself" causing
the judge to angriiy reply, 'it is un-
true, The first Commandment of every
religion is DO not kill"
Rothstock.. during cross examination,
admitted that he had left the Haken-
kreuzler organization of Vienna before
committing the murder in order not to
implicate the organization.
Intermountain Jewish news., 1925-10-15

yienna-The acquittal of Otto Roth
stock is assured. During the trial the
accused played the role of an idealistlc
nationalist and subnormal person. He
will probably be committed TO nerve
cure institution. despite the fact that
experts of the University OF Vienna
testified to his sanity and responsib-
ility.
