FAMOUS BELLS MURDER TRIAL

one moment to give up that religion.
Centuries ago not only Jews, but
Christians, died for their religion, and
should YOU send Mendel Bells to Siberia

others before him, who suffered Tor their
religious faith, with those dear words
mentioned by one of the prosecutors
experts on his lips, 'Shma Israel Adonay
AlOanu AdOnay EehOd.'
When GrOssenbeTg resumed his seat
there was a scattering vOlley or hand
clapping and applause which was sternly
repressed by the soldiers.
Newspapermen Pay Compliment.
. A great compliment was paid the elo-
quent address by the newspaper men,
who Immediately after he had concluded
his address. sent to GrOssenberg's little
son in St. Petersburg a telegram Of con-
gratulations on lis fathers great speech
Following GrOssenberg came Mr. Sa-
roundV. who In a two hours address
dealt with the expert testimony, paying
particular attention to the Russian
orthodox priest. Pranaitis, whose testi-
mOnT. he declared, he recOiled on the
head of the prosecutor for daring to put
such an "expert" forward
Never Heard of "Talmud Tora."
Saroundy showed that prosecutor Wip-
per himself knew nothing of Jews or
Judaism, instancing the fact that he
had never heard of the "Talmud Tors"
which IS an institution actually author
lied by the Russian government itself
SarOundy. who was listened to with
rapt attention, concluded;
q appeal to YOU, gentlemen Of the
jury, with Gods help to guide you, do
not add another innocent human sacri-
flee to the altar of superstition and dark
ness"
Undoubtedly the most eloquent and
telling speech of the day was made by
Mr. Karabtscersky, who, after explaining
in simple language the duties and respOn-
sibilities of the jurymen, analyzed the
points of evidence pro and con, insisting
there was nothing addueed to Justify
even a suspicion against Bells.
One point which he made with dra-
matte effect had reference to a state
ment of the prosecution that five tum-
blers of blood had been drawn from thu
veins of the murdered boy.

H of the Bells trial. Within "A
hours Mendel Bells Will know his tate;
but what is of much greater Importance
Judaism viii learn whether the black
lie which has SC often made itself red
with blood still sways mortal belief.
Four remarkable speeches for the de-
fence were concluded shortly before
o'clock tonight. after which prosecutor
Wiper said a last word to the jury.
All that now remains Is the summing
I'D by the court and the formal attention
of questions for the jury. The verdict
is expected by Sunday night.
Soldiers Arrive Secretly.
A cloud of pessimism hangs over the
city The streets are filled with eX-
cited persons discussing the latest news
from the court house. Soldiers are to
be seen evervw ere, mounted pickets be-
ing stationed IN the principal thorough
fares ready to act at the slightest signs
of trouble During the night three regl-
ments of soldiers arrived secretly, being
distributed over the city. They are be-
ing held IN the background, so as not to
inflame the already excited peasants.
Determined efforts are being made by
the "black hundred" to institute a pro-
gram. but the government seems deter
mined that there shall be none
Court Scenes Thrilling.
The scenes in court today were most
thrilling. Fearing an attempt to attack
Bells. the police court ordered that five
soldiers. instead of two or three. guard
the prisoner. With drawn swords they
formed a half circle around Bells, who,
as the trial draws to a close, shows the
effect of the fearful strain under which
he has been labOring for the past two
years
What was looked upon as a happy
omen BY friends of the accused man
occurred soon after Bells had taken his
accustomed seat The sky, which for
the last few DAYS had been dull and
heavy, suddenly cleared and through
window opposite the prisoners stand
bright rays of sunshine poured, enclrellng
him after the fashion of a stage lime
light.
Soldiers Among Snectators-
The court was crowded to suffOeatiOn
and the heat was so terrific that, in
order to guard against demonstration or
possible violence soldiers were plenti-
fully sprinkled among the spectators.
Even the press gallery. where Bells
finds his warmest sympathizers, was IN
der martial supervision.
When court recOnvened this morning,
Mr.. GrOssenberg continued his address
for the defence In masterful manner
he dissected the evidence for and against
Bells and gave a description of the boy
YushinisSy, who, he claimed, had been
murdered by a gang of criminals In
concluding he said:
Pleads for Bells.
