MANOILESCL FREED] INCAROLIST PLOT Verdict Acquitting Rumanian Is Cheered—Judges Vote Three to Two. By fhe Associated Press. BUCHAREST, Rumania, November 15.—His acquittal by a court ial of charges of conspiracy in the re- cently ‘unearthed Carolist plot was hailed today by Mahail Manoilescu as “the beginning of a-new era of liberty in Rumania.” 5 Five judges voted three to two to set free the former undersecretary of finance, who was charged with con- spiring to bring former Crown Prince Carol back to Rumania and to restore | pla; to him his rights of succession to the throne, which have now fallen upon his six-year-old son. Michael. Arguing in Manoflescu’s defense, one of his lawyers, M. Mihalache, de- clared: “Qur present system is balanced on the sharp edge of a sword. If it be the wish of the people, Prince . Carol may return not only as regent, but as King. One can repress the wishes of the government, but not the will of the people.” Verdict Is Cheered. Reopening the dynastic question which was settled by Carol's renun- ciation of the throne confirmed by law in January, 1926, the arrest and trial of Manoilescu aroused intense interest among Rumanians. The in- terest was increased by the defend ant’s impassioned plea in his own half and the demand of the prosecu- tion that he pay the full penaity of an revolution: has been an unre- lenting foe of the present premier, Jonel Bratiano, whose family has been an all-powerful factor in Rumania for 50_vears. His fight against th atiano fam- ily grew more unrelenting after 1926, when Mavoilescu became undersec: retary of finance with the advent of the second Averescu government. Always a foe of dishonest elections and corruption in government, he tought vigorously for freedom of press and speech. He fought to emanci- te the country from the economic and political group of the Bratianos. Turned Down Honors. Premier Bratiano attempted to silence Manoilescu, according to evi- dence adduced at the trial, by offer- ing him his choice of the Rumanian ministership at London, Berlin or Rome, a few weeks ago. Spurning this offer of peace, Man- ollescu went immediately to Paris and conferred with Carol.. He pre- rred. as he said.in"his speech frons the do he road of honor rather than the road to honors.” v? He was arrested October 24 as the bearer of letters and other docunyen| from Carol to the leaders of the va ous parties in Rumania. and chargéd :lth conlspler;cy:kgrlnfnwember'_.,w e was placed on trial before @ colirts martial consisting ‘of ‘a_ colone). - a¥: president, two majors -and two cap- tains.
