KIEFF. RUSSIA. Nov. 1O.--A yer
dict Of not guilty was returned to-day
in the famous ritual murder trial OF
Mendel BELLS, the Jewish workman
accused of sleshIng to death Andrew
Yushinsky, a Christian boy, for sacri
fetal purposes in 1911.
This is a victory for Bells, but 4
greater victory for the Jewish race is
Russia, said NJ. Grousenburs. leading
counsel for the defendant.
The trial OF Bells, which began or
October 8, aroused greater interest
throughout the world than any other
criminal trial since the Dreyfuss case
in France.
Although intrinsically only an or
binary criminal case, the Kieff trial
held the attention of the civilized
world because Of the religious and
racial elements injected into It by
the Russian Government
Defense's Hard Fight.
The anti semetic hostility of the
Government here was given free PLAY
and the prosecutor sought to make
II appear that a Jew had killed Il
Christian boy for ritual motives.
From the very first the defense
met legal blow for blow, and before
the trial was half over it was ap
parent that the Government would
bring down tremendous censure upon
itself if it allowed a verdict of guilty
to be returned
Because the eyes of the world were
upon Kieff the Government was conf
PEELED to take precautions to prevent
an anti-Jewish uprising in the event
Of acquittal and, the town was full.

History Of the Crime.
The body of Andrew Yushlnsky was
found in a cave on the outskirts OF
Kieff on March %, 1911.
NJ. Krassovsky. the chief of Kieff
police, investigated the crime His
findings were duly improved, but
shortly after he was deposed. A short
time later the successor of Krsssov-.
sky announced that evidence had
been found indicating that ritual
crime" had been committed.
Bells, an employee of a brick works
was arrested on circumstantial evil
dence. He denied the crime and his
story was so plausible that q move
ment in his favor was started. M
Grousenburg, one OF the best known
attorneys in Russia, was retained IN
his behalf.
The contention of the defense was
that Yushinsky had been killed be
cause he knew too much about the
criminal operations of a band headed
by woman named Vera Tcheberiak
Woman Figures in Case.
According to some of the testimony
Andrew and two of vera's children
had been used In some of the Grim
nal operations Of the band. The W.
man became one OF the central he
ures in the case. Bells was in prison
for two years, during which time he
was subjected to the third degree
with all the traditional severity OF the
Russian police He remained stead
fast IN his protestations of innocence
and his last words when the case wen
to the jury was, 81 am innocent OF
any crime"
