Csilla GÁL: The Activity of the People's Court Through Some Cases 55
At the end of the law-case it was sent to the Szeged committee but after then it was
discussed again. Finally he did not have to leave his public position but his was declared
as being unfit for fulfilling a leading position and he was excluded from advancement for
five years.
The head of the committee was Sándor Szenti.
Andor Lencse 1896.11.29.) – director and teacher of the local Calvinist Church’s Léva
street school. As he had been a leading figure of the local Arrow-Cross Party he was
declared as being unfit for fulfilling a leading position.
Lajos Hohe and his wife – traders. According to the accusations Lajos Johe had been
the founder, leader and organizer of the local Volksbund and he was the member of the
Arrow-Cross Party, as well. Their case was passed on to the Szeged committee.
Andor Telek 1890.10.10.) – textile trader. He was reprimanded because he invigorated
the Dálnoki-government, however, as he had defined himself, he had been a left- wing
person. His case was passed on to the local board.
Jakab István Mélykúti – shoemaker. He was the member of the Arrow Cross Prtay. His
case is interesting because that the Szenti - committee deprived him of his craftsman -
certificate and passed on his case to the Szeged court. The Szeged court terminated his
process and gentled the judgment. Mélykúti was reprimanded and his franchise was taken
away for five years. The reasoning was as follows: ’It is not in interest of democracy to
augment the number of the unsatisfied but to save the guilty people for democracy.’
Sándor Illés: His case is interesting because first he had been justified even if there had
been prosecution against him before. ( Imre Kertész had prosecuted him because as he
claimed Sándor Illés had robbed from the Halász-shop and he had been on the part of the
German. ) After the justification he called Imre Kertész to account because of prosecuting
him again and he added to the story that Illés had sweared at the communists.
Unfortunately we do not have information about how the story ended. I did not find the
case on the list of the Szeged court but we do not have the decision in his file.
Sándor Paulovits (Póla, 1895.08.01) – There was two prosecutions against him
according to which he talked to certain people in an anti-communist tone. First, when the
church raised the price of the field rental and the tenants complained he said: ’what does
this communist band want here? Then in the public-service office he used anti-communist
words. However he denied the accusations in his law-case and the church justified that he
did not have anything to do with razing the rental and with the tenants his punishment
was not gentle. According to the judgment, the public-servant has to be looked at, as he
had died on the very day when the order became effective. Sándor Szenti was the head of
the committee.
