STRANGE MURDER CASE
ON TRIAL IN RUSSIA
Kieff, Oct. 16—After lying in jail
tor two years and a half, Mendel
Beilis was placed on trial yesterday
in the criminal section of the Kieff
district court for "ritual murder".
On account of the extraordinary in
terest the case has attracted thru
out Europe, the courtroom was
packed by a cosmopolitan throng
when Judge Boldyreff and his-"as
sociates mounted the bench and be
gau the.impanelling of a Jury. The
regular venire for the court term
from which the jury was chosen con
sisted of. four men with a university
education, fourteen with an inter
mediate or elementary education,
fifteen who have not attended any
school, but who have received some
domestic education, and three who
are quite illiterate. More than 200
newspapermen, from various coun
tries, had previously applied for
seats, but so great was the demand
made by the friends of both local
and St. Petersburg officials that
many of the correspondents had to
stand in the back of the room, and
some, although holding tickets, fail
ed altogether of admission. Con
spicuous among the reporters was a
personal representative of M. Stcheg
lovitoff, Minister of Justice, who
had been instructed to wire a run
ning detail account of the proceed
ings to his chief in St. Petersburg.
From the inception of the case the
Ministry of Justice had carefully
directed the activities of the local
prosecutors, Brandorf and Chap
linsky, and it wflS with the full ap
proval of the central government
that the charge of "ritual murder"
was made in the original indictment
Ever since the morning of April
1, 1911, when the mutilated body of
Andrei Yuschinsky, a 12 year old
Christian boy, was found in an aban
doned briek-yard just outside Kieff,
the prosecution has been endeavor
ing to establish the theory that he
was slain in accordance with an al
leged Jewish rite prescribed by the
Talmud, so that his blood might be
used in making passover bread. For
centuries the ignorant and supersti
tious Jew-baiters of Russia have
clung to the belief that this "rite*'
is regularly practiced by the Jew
ish race, and the government has
apparently done all it could to fos
ter this idea. M. Krassavsky, chief
of the Kieff detective department,
was actually instructed to proceed
on the theory that the crime was.
the work of Jews, although the on
ly possible pretest for the "ritual"
charge was that the boy's body bore
47 stab wounds. According to cur
rent superstitions the "ritual mur
der" is accomplished by 43 wounds.
He could obtain absolutely no evi
dence along the required lines, but
on the contrary boueved he had trac
ed the murder to a gang of thieves
to which neighbors of the boy's
family belonged and who were
known to he fearful ilnt Yuschin
sky would betray them to the au
thorities. He secured evidence that
one of the thieves was seen with a
chisel shortly before the murder
and that this same lnplement, cov
ered with blood, was found by two
boys near the brick-kiln afterwards
The boys, upon orders from the
thief, threw it into a sewer.
When Krassavsk.v made his first
report to his superiors he was stern
ly reprimanded. Late' he was prac
tically forced by them to arrest Win
del Beilis, a Jew, 40 >ears of ag<-*,
foreman of the brickyard, In whose
room one of the thieves' gang said
he had found some of the boy's
clothing. On producing further evi
dence indicating the guilt of the
thieves, and the innocence of Beil
is, Krassavsky was dismissed from
office. I When a fresh investigation
was made under the direction of his
successor Mr. Mistchouk, lie and
his assistants quickly came to the
conclusion that the ritual murder
theory was fantastically untrue and
so reported to the authorities. The
result was not only the dismissal of
Mistchouk and two of his men but
their arrest on charges of "fabrica
ting documents favorable to the
Jews." They were acquitted, but
the Crown appealed, with the result
that the verdict was reversed and
they were convicted and sentenced
to a year's hard labor each.
In order to strengthen its case,
the government caused widespread
publication of a statement made to
the examining magistrate by the
Archmandrite Ambdorsius, vicar of
the Orthodox monastery at Kieff,
to the effect that two monks, pro
selyted from the Jewish faith, had
minutely described to him the prac
tice of "ritual murder." His test
imony was supported by Prof. Sik
orsky,'of St. Valdimir University at
Kieff, who held that the nature of
Yuschinsky's wounds gave every in
dication of "ritual murder," that
the boy manifestly had been tortur
ed before death, and that several
persons were probably party to the
crime. As further emphasizing the
attitude of the government, the
chief of the Odessa school district,
who openly disputed Prof. Slkorsky'a
contentions, was dismissed from his
post. In the meantime the case
had attactod world-wide attention.
Many prominent men in England in
cluding the Archbishops of Canter
bury and York, Lord Rosebery, Aus-<
ten Chamberlain, A. J. Balfour, and
scores of university professors, scien
tists, and ministers of the gospel
signed aud sent out to Russia a
strongly worded protest against the
"blood accusation.' ' In England,
France, Austria aud Germany, full
reports of the inquest on the mur
dered boy was submitted to unpre
judiced boards of medicolegal ex
perts who united in declaring that
he was not tortured nor was blood
removed from his body, as alleged.
The British committee, of which Dr.
W. H. Wilcox, chief expert of the
Home Office, was the leading mem
ber, asserted that the evidence
showed that the boy was killed al
most instantaneously by two blows
on the head, that the numerous
stabbings were merely incidental to
a peculiarly fiendish crime, and that
there was no blood draining. At
the last International Congress of
Medicine in London the case was
considered by the sections on Foren
sic Medicine and Psychiatry, and
the opinion was unanimously ex
pressed that it was "not a ritual
murder, but the act. of some homi
cidal luuatic, which had been seized
upon by persons animated by racial
antipathy to the Jews to distort aud
misrepresent facts for their own ne
farious purposes." Beilis himself
was little better than an ordinary
laborer, a man of practically no edu
cation beyond that of his trade, and
there is no evidence that he ever
had any strong religious convictions.
Yuchinsky disappeared on March 25,
when he left home presumably to
go to school. After his body was
found, it developed that instead of
going to school he had visited a boy
friend .named Eugene Chiberiak,
whose parents lived near the brick
yard where the lads frequently play
ed.
The direct evidence against Beilis
so far as it has been disclosed, ;s
of rather flimsy character. First
there was a statement by a lamp
lighter named Shakhhowsky, who d«
clared that Eugene told him a few
days later that he and Yuchinsky ha
been driven from the brickworks by
a man with a black beard. Shak
howsky's wife deposed that an ac
quaintance, Anna Zakharovaya, told
her that she saw Beilis seize Yus
cliinsky and drag him toward the
^brickyard kiln. Anna Zakharovoya,
however, flatly denies this. Vas
sily Chebberiak, Eugene's father,
stated that a week before the mur
der, his son told him that two Jews,
wearing unusual garb, had taken up
their residence with Beilis, and that
he had seen them praying. Unfor
tunately, Eugene, who had been sick
ly, died before his evidence could
be taken by the examining magis
trate, or the mystery might have
been cleared up. Cheberiak's home
was the notorious rendezvous of a
band of thieves, and it was they
whom Krassavksy and other detect
ives believed to have been the real
murderers.
Later, Ivan Kosatchenke, a con
vict iuformer, who was placed in the
same cell with Beilis for two monthSj
declared that Beilis arranged with
him to poison all the witnesess
against him, and promised that if
he did so, the Jews would keep him
in comfort for life.
Throughout the various prelimin
ary processes of the case the de
fense has been seriously handicappe
by the manifest prejudices of the
court officials against the prisoner.
All possible obstacles were thrown
in the way of defense counsel. His
first attorney, Grigorovitch, was se
verely reprimanded and temporarily
suspended from the case for having
signed a petition protesting against
the "blood accusation". His next
lawyer, Margoulin, was forced out
by reason of a palpably false charge
made by Vera Cheberiak, mother
of the boy, Eugene, that he had at
tempted to bribe her. Beilis was
represented in !an array of
counsel employed , by wealthy Jews,
chief of whom were two of the
leading barristers of the capital,
Karavchevsky and Grusenberg.
