[Grahamstown Trial]

The attached files contain the transcript of the eighth day (20.07.1934) of the "Grahamstown Trial". This case deals with a crude forgery by Harry Victor Inch (leader in the Eastern Province of the South African Grey Shirts Movement), of the Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion and a Jewish world conspiracy. The newspaper "Die Rapport" published a document (in an Afrikaans version on 6 April and in the original English version on 13 April) allegedly stolen by Mr. Inch from the Western Road Synagogue in Port Elizabeth. This fake document includes both a rather vague and a very detailed Jewish "Plan of Attack", which appears to be a record of an address delivered by the rabbi to the members of the local Jewish community. On the eighth day of trial the hearing of Mr. Inch was resumed and Mr. Olivier and Mr. Moltke (two of the defendants) were interrogated by both judge T.L. Graham and judge C. Gutsche and cross-examined by the plaintiff's lawyer. All of the three defendant's answers/testimonies/statements focused on the procedure of getting hold of the document or on their biographies and on their personal backgrounds.
