Counsel for Prosecution
Finally Brings in Name of
the Accused Man.

KEW. Russia, November 6-The name
of Mendel Beiliss. the man standing trial
for the alleged murder of the Christian
boy Andrew Pushinsky In March, 1911,
was barely mentioned in the closing
speech of counsel for the prosecution to-
day. This was remarked by those present
in the court, as the same thing happened
when counsel delivered his opening
speech on the Indictment.
Toward the end of his address today.
however. the prosecutor expressed his
profound conviction that Beiliss was
guilty. and remarked that the accused
had been seen dragging young Yushin-
sky toward the brick furnace where Bel
liss was employed. He added
Not Regarded as Crime.
"Mendel Beiliss possibly was an excel
lent father and virtuous man. who lived
modestly and was certainly religious,
But does this preclude the possibility of
the preparation by him Of crime which
from his standpoint was not a crime?
He regards himself as an expiatory vic
tim for his co-religionists.
Counsel for the prosecution then dwelt
on the subject of the clay found on
Young Yush!nsky's clothing which he
said resembled that of the soil near the
sta BILE where the prosecution believes the
murder was committed, and where Mrs.
Bellies went to live after the arrest of her
husband. The stable was whiteWasheo
