Charged by federal officials with sending them threatening letters, Wilhelm Starr, a former member of the German-American “Bund,” refused to take an oath before Judge Oscar Kaplan when arraigned here. “I shall take no oath before a Jew,” he declared. He was released in $2,000 bail and sent to a mental hospital for observation. His trial has been set for December 31.
