Canadian Escape for Trifa?

(Continued from Page 1)
Trifa has been charged
by the U.S. Department
of Justice and the U.S.
immigration and.
Naturalization Service
with having lied about his
membership in the Iron
Guard when he entered
the U.S. and when he
applied for U.S. citizen-
ship. Trifa lives in Grass
Lake, near Jackson.
Tuesday afternoon,
Trifa gave a deposition in
the case in a private ses-
on before U.S. attor-
eys in Detroit, his de-
fense attorneys and a
federal court stenog-
rapher.
The deposition, which
had been sought since
last summer, had been de-
layed by the illness of Tri-
fa's attorney and a report
that Trifa had suffered a
slight stroke.
U.S. Assistant Attorney
Frederick 'Van Tiem said
he was now compiling a list
of witnesses, including one
in Israel, that he wants to
depose. He could not esti-
mate the time needed to
depose the witnesses, al-
though he recently pre-
dicted that it would take
more than a year before
the case would come to
trial.

Ik

After the depositions
are gathered, Van Tiem
will present the evidence
to U.S. District Judge
Cornelia Kennedy who
will decide if the case
should be tried.
The charges were filed
in 1974 after a 25 year
battle to have INS press
charges.
Trifa is accused of in-
stigating a pogrom in
Romania in 1941 that kil-
led and injured
thousands of Jews. Dr.
Charles Kremer of New
York pressured the gov-
ernment for more than 25
years to institute pro-
ceedings against Trifa.
