WOMAN TEST|F|ES
AGAINST B|EL|SS
Says She Was Offered $4,000
to Take Blame For Death of
Boy-IS Woman of Motor
iouS Reputation.

KIEFF, Oct. 16.--A sensation was
caused in the ritual murder" trial
Of Mendel Beiliss Thursday. when a
woman named Vera Tcheberiak, one
of the principal figures in the case,
swore that she had been offered S2O,-
600 to shoulder the guilt of the mur-
der of Andrew YuShinsky the 13-year-
old victim.
Vera is mother of the boy, Eugene
Tcheberiak who was a playfellow of
Andrew, and who met death himself
subsequent TO the finding Of the An
drews boy. The woman is of notorious
character, and was denounced by the
inspector of the police as being the
head of a band OF criminals which
probably took Andrews life.
This testimony was brought out by
the prosecution to discredit the testi-
mony of former Police Inspector
Krassovsky, who was removed from
office shortly after the murder and
before the charge was brought that it
was a ritual murder.
The woman swore before the court
that a Journalist named BruShOvsky
had warned her that her husband
would lose his position in the postal
service unless he assisted in discOv-
ering the murderer Of the Yushinsky
asked her 10 take the guilt on her
self in return for a large sum OF
money and safe passage to America.
If she should be arrested, Brush
Ovisky told her, she should have the
best lawyers 10 defend her.
Il went with Brushovsky TO Khar-
koff." said Vera, where a private in
terview was held with Barrister Mar
COLIN and two strange men. They
offered me $4,000 TO take the guilt
upon myself The unidentified per
sons said ii was necessary to dispose
Of the charge against Beiliss.
promised TO consider the offer"
Further on Yer said:
My son Eugene told me he had
seen two mysterious Jews near Men
del Beiliss' lodgings one answering
the description Of Schneerson. who
has testified for Beiliss The other
might have been Schneerson's father"
Counsel for the defense were not
dismayed BY Vera's testimony declar-
ing that her reputation was such that
it could not be given credence IN a
court OF law.

possibility of a more aggressive course
o. action by the United States. Three
methods Of dealing with the situation
are being suggested as being open to
the Washington government.
Military Demonstration
First there is the ever recurrent
question in official circles OF a mill
tary and naval demonstration which
would serve as a precautionary move
in case a forcible policy is later re-
CURED. For the present however. the
president and his advisers are con-
centrating on a constructive solution
by the use of peaceful measures.
Second. many officials think a Sc
ries of strong demands made upon
the authorities at Mexico City to
force the elimination of Gen. Huerta
would complete the record Of the
United States in attempting TO assist
as the nearest neighbOr" in solving
the difficulties of the southern repub-
lie. II has suggested by some
officials that should such demands be
ignored, the American. government
would be justified in throwing its sup
port TO the constitutionalists in the
north.
Third. the United States could for
mally announce its absolute termina-
tiOn of relations with the Huerta Off
cials. leaving il to the influence both
of the constitutional movement and
various liberal elements in Mexico
City TO secure the elimination of HUI
erta and the establishment OF "A pro-
visionaI government with which the
cOnstitutionalists would negotiate fer
peace and arrange a free election in
compliance with Mexican law.

no further signs of life in the pit.
Up to a late hour Wednesday night
40 bodies had been recovered while
36S miners were still entOmbed. The

The engineers have decided to de-
vote their efforts to subduing the
