Bells is Barely
Mentioned in Plea
of the Prosecution

KIEV, Russia, Nov 6.-The name OF
Mendel BELLS the man standing trial for
the alleged murder of the Christian boy,
Andrew Yushinsky, in March, 1911, was
barely mentioned In the closing speech Of
counsel for the prosecution today. This
was remarked by those present in court
as the same thing happened when counsel
delivered his opening speech on the in
dctment.
Toward the end of his address today,
however the prosecutor expressed his
profound conviction that Bells was guilty
and remarked tn . the accused had been
seen dragging young Yushinsky toward
the brick furnace. where BELLS was en-
ployed. He added
"Mende Bells possibly was an excel
lent father and a virtuous man, who lived
modestly and was certainly religious, but
does this preclude the possfUrnty-St the
preparation by him of crime which
from his standpoint. was not a crime?
He regards himself as an expiatory VIC
tim of his eo-religionists."
Counsel for the prosecution then dwelt
on the subject OF the clay found on
young Yushinsky's clothing. which, he
said, resembled that of the soil near
the Stable Where the prosecution peleNes
tn, murder was committed and where
Mrs. Bells went TO live after the arrest
of her husband. The stable was white
washed before the visit OF Krassovsky
the detective, and was burned down three
days before the arrival of the magis-
trste in charge Of the preliminary inves-
tigation
Counsel for the prosecution argued that
the only medical and mental expert testi-
mony worthy of credence was that
brought forward by the prosecution. lie
especially y-mentioned Prof. Siborski, Who
he said. notwithstanding illness and his
knowledge OF the storm that would burst
on him, had not feared to come into court
and testify that the crime had been com
mItted by Jewish fanatics with the object
OF obtaining blood"
