Cardinal Mindszenty Recants Letter Before Arrest
In Budapest, Cardinal Mindszenty recanted in court a letter written before his arrest claiming guilt would come from weakness of the flesh. He said the letter, dated November 1948 and meant to reach bishops, is null and void. The trial, in its second day, included six others with Mindszenty stressing it did not pertain to the current case. Duke Paul Esterhazy, once a major Hungarian figure, entered a guilty plea as the proceedings continued.
