ODESSA, NOV. &. Inc io.oo' ~
counts of the devastatl a in the jew
ish quarter add horror to the situa-
ton. Besides numerous mills. all the
bakeries, shops and nearly 600 homes
have been destroyed. The Jews killed
In every instance were treated with
revolving barbarity. Heads were bat
tered with hammers; nails were
driven into the bodies, eyes were
gouged out and ears severed. Many
bodies were disemboweled. and in
same cases petroleum was poured
over the sick found hiding in Stars
and they were burned to dea,h.
1t is alleged that the police and SOL
diers everywhere marched at the head
OF mobs,
inciting Them to Destroy
the Jews by crying "the Jews have
killed our emperor" and similar ex-
pressions. While the mobs were en-
gagged in the sla lighter the soldiers
busted themselves pillaging the cash
and jewels, leaving the household
goods to the .mobs. The owners of
many houses got rid of the bandits by
the payment of a ransom to the police.
The police prevented any one from
arresting the lOoters and prevented
also the H.ed Cross workers from aid
ing the wounded, actually firing upon
those engaged in this work.

tect them from the mObs.
The casualties in Saturdays dis
turbances exceed 40 and those of the
preceding three days, which have
been verified. number nearly $500
The plundering continued early yes
