Vienna, Oct. 18.
Jewish residents of this city who dared to leave their homes only in late afternoon today told authorities details of the anti-semitic demonstrations which occurred last night.
After the prayer hour at Malzase Temple, the Jewish informants said, thirty young men forced the caretakers to give up the keys to the temple and to the Talmud-Thora school. They entered the two buildings, smashed the furnishing and windows of the school and then broke down a wall into the temple.
Burning feather-beds taken from the caretaker's rooms were tossed into the temple and the wooden walls and prayer chair burst into flames before men could extinguish the blaze.
The intruders, according to the Jewish informants, knocked the head off a life-size statute of "the Mother and Child" in the famous Jewish museum building, and also destroyed many objects used in the exhibition.
The caretaker said he was so intimidated he told authorities nothing of the affair until this morning. He said the demonstrators also hurled fire into the Montefiore prayer house, which was quickly extinguished. The Holy Thora roll and'silverware was hidden in time.
Since yesterday was the last day of the eight-day Feast of the Taber-naeles, which few Jews dared to observe, the demonstrations are now believed to be at an end.—United Press.
