Scene of the Massacre.
Excuse Of the Police.

The police make no secret of the fact that
the attack upon the Jews was in retalia-
ton for the revolutionary activity OF the
bund. but do not explain why it was lim-
tied to innocent and helpless mechanics
and tradesmen. They claim that the bund
is responsible for more than forty attempts
OF assassination since March /, and that
many of them were successful. They rep
resent that the most useful members of the
police force have been killed or disabled, in
cluding General Derkachoff, the chief of
police who was shot four days before the
massacre. But he was not assassinated by
Jews. He was the victim of the BLACK
Hundreds because he protected them He
was universally beloved by the Jews of
Bialystok. and 1t is well known that he
twice prevented ''pyrogroms" which had
been planned. When a Jewish deputation
took wreath to be placed upon the coffin
of the dead chief of police his assistant and
successor. Captain Shermeteff. a notorious
Jew-baiter. threw 1t out of the window and
said to the deputation:
