JEWS IMPLICATED.
About the same time it was observed
that only Jews had offered money to the
poor mother, and only Jews sent informa-
ton from different parts about the child
having been seen. A sort of frenzy
seemed to come upon the people, which
reached its height when several wood
choppers confessed they had been hired
by Jew to dress the body IN clothes he
gave them and to tie it to the raft in the
hope of making it appear that the child
had fallen into the river. About the same
time son of one of the officials in the
synagogue confessed that he saw his
father and two Jew butchers take the
! girl into the synagogue and cut her throat
on the evening she disappeared; but he
did not know why they did it or where
the body was. The father, son and two
butchers are in prison, but the latter

Hungary have kept more strictly to
rites than any other Jews, and at various
times rumors have been afioat that they
mixed human blood with their sacrifices
The idea seems to be gaining ground
that the child was killed in moment of
religious fanaticism as sacrifice of some
kind. The child, as have already stated,
was nearly deformed. Her parents are of
the most miserable and poor. The gov
ernment has placed large sum at the
disposition of a committee to investigate
every detail that the case develops. A
society of Jews have engaged three of the
ablest criminal lawers in Pesth to come
and take charge of their side in the case.
EXCITEMENT INCREASING.
Within the last fifteen days many arti
cles have been published calling upon the
public to reflect we'll what it does The
speeches in the Diet say it is better to let
ninety-nine guilty ones go free than to
punish one innocent person. That if it
is found to be true that the child was
sacrificed all Hungary will rise up, and
there will be such a slaughter of Jews as
was never before seen on the face of the
earth. This is all the more serious be-
cause Jews are fiocking in by hundreds,
flying from persecution in Russia, so they
are double the number they usually are.

have good grounds to exist These curl
