VIENNA, June 22.-At the great trial
at Nyreghhaza, Hungary, of anumber of
Jews accused of having murdered a
Christian girl at Tiszarzlar to use her
blood to mix with their Passover bread,
the sister of the girl alleged to be muir
dered testified that she spoke to her sister
in the afternoon of the day the murder
was said to have occurred, while ON the
other hand the principal witness for
the prosecution, Jewish boy named
Mority Scharf swore he saw the murder
committed in the synagoge before the
middaylmeal was partaken of. The trial is
causing extraordinary excitement. Chris
tians in the vicinity are intensely hostile
to the accused men, and those who attend
the trial jeer the counsel for the defense
when they rise to speak. The father of
the boy Scharf is one of the prisoners
charged with the crime. The boy,
though not legally compelled to testify
against his father, elected to do SO. He
tells his story with great calmness, but
he refused his fathers request to speak
in his native German, and the elder
Scharf declares he would no,
dare tell lie in that tongue. The
prisoners spit at and curse witnesses
against them. 1t has been elected in the
course of the trial that the boy Schari
intends to become Christian, and that
he has been told by Catholic priest
about the alleged use of Christian blood
in making Passover bread, and that he
had been threatened by the police prior
to his open examination. The Catholic
priest admitted that he was the author OF
the anonymous attack on the Jews, &C.
cussing them of the murder of the girl
