PersecutiOn OF the Jews,

hhnQDp oPeclal 70 NOV hork oun.
The Jews everywhere in Europe are
watching with painful interest the
progress Of the trial at Vienna of the
Jews who are accused of having mur>
dered a young Christian girl in order
to obtain her blood for use in a relig
ious ceremony. The evidence against
the accused is unexpectedly strong,
the principal witness being the four
teen year old son OF the chiefprisoner,
Joseph Scharf. After detailing the
manner of the crime, and how they
had the victim SO as to lose none of
the blood, the boy was cross examined
by his father. 4 verbatim passage
will give an idea of the Rcene in
court, and Of the general character Of
the trial:
The Prisoner-LOok me in the face,
thou scorpion.
The President-Do not insult the
witness understand your emotion;
bat behave properly before your
Judges.
PrisoneT-Bost thou knoy mel
Witness-Yes; thou art my father.
PFisoper-What didst thou tell the
officer al ArSt2
Witness = Nothing; BECAUSE you
had forbidden me to speak of tho
corpse.
Prisoner-Thou Hest, wretched boy;
thou dost not know what corpse is.
Witness-0h, yes l do. It is a dead
body.
pSisoper-Then, when | tell thee
what thou ssseS. is false,l tell lie?
Witness-YeS, you aye a liaT.
Prisoner-Thou infamous liar, do /
deserve, on thy false evidence, to be
hanged in the market placer
Witness-That is no concern Of
mine. I DO not wish ever to see you
again.
Prisoner-Why dost thou address
me as thou art doingP y
Witness-Do you expect me to say
"No1r GrsceP"

a scene as the general chaTacter Of the
proceedings here exhibit has pro-
voked the bitterest feeling among the
