BELLS is NOT GUILTY
OF RITUAL MURDER
Jurors in Famous Case at kiev, Rus
STA, Exonerate Poor Jew Work
man of Crime.

Kiev, Russia, Nov 12.-Mendel
Bells was acquitted by the jury Mon
day of having murdered the Christian
boy, Yushinsky two years ago as a
part of the orthodox Jewish ritual
service.
Anti-Semitic agitators, many of
whom are students, are openly incit-
ing mobs to pogroms by affirming that
the Jews purchased the verdict. The
governor of Kiev, however, called a
meeting of representatives of the
Jews and promised that everything
possible would be done to prevent out
breaks. He asked that the Jews, on
their part, refrain from pubilant
demonstrations. Bells remained In
prison for the night.
BELLS is not guilty, but the MUIR
der was committed in the Zaiteff
works" That was the verdict re-
turned by the jury. Two hours had
been spent in deliberations.
The wording of the verdict is one
of the causes OF the uneasiness that
prevails tonight, for fears are felt
that the Black Hundred, the society of
anti-Semite Russians, will make cap
ital out of the finding that the crime
was committed in the brick works.
When Bells was taken out Of the
prisoners room of the court for the
last time and brought along the dingy
corridor it was seen that his guard
had been increased to five soldiers.
The strictest precautions had been
taken to prevent unauthorized persons
from gaining access to the court. The
police were In great force both with.

Captain B. II. Hardaway, one of the
South's largest contractors. Such
men have always been on the board
and they have known the needs of
the county and have worked out its
business affairs as they have their
own.
Roads Like BouIevards.
The roads of the county are 80 and
40 feet wide and are boulevards COM
pared to those in many other coun-
ties Of the State. The road work is
under the direct supervision of Julian
r. Lane, County Road Engineer. He
IS ranked as one of the best road
builders in the State. He is now
constructing roads at $4,000 per mile
that are pronounced by experts to
equal others that are costing as high
as $4,000 in other counties.
Muscogee County is using convict
labor on the roads, there being four
camps established where the highest
type of road building machinery can
be found. The county now has more
than 90 miles of first-class public
roads and the four gangs are building
other roads as rapidly as men and
means can be used to construct them.
