church. The Jews there number thirty
thousand out of a total population ~
100000. The rioters who were mostly
laborers numbered 5000. They wrecked
hundreds of Jewish houses and shops
desecrated Jewish graves and killed and
injured large number. About 400 of
the rioters were arrested after several
furious conflicts with Cossacks. several
