Youthful Chicago Shoemaker As
serts Man Held as Slayer Is
Gentle and Kindly.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-A story of the
years of intrigue and murder which
led up to the trial of Mendel Bells,
charged with the ritual" murder of a
Christian boy in Kieff, Russia, was
told yesterday by a cousin of the now
famous defendant
Harry Vinek, a 19-year- old boy,
working as a shoemaker in q little
shoe shop at No. S39 East Thirty
ninth street, tells of the many years
of brutality to which the family was
subjected before he came to America
and Bells was arrested.
'Mendel, entirely innocent, has gone
through years of solitary confinement
and is being tried for his lie on a
false charge, but he is more fortunate
than some of my family" said Vinek
we have always been the object of
hatred by the police and soldiery be-
cause our family was very religious
and refused to be awed by the display
Of brutality.
Four of Family Murdered.
-Four of my family have been muir
dered by the Black Hundreds, so |
say that Mendel is not the only mar
tyr in the family
HE is the gentlest, the most Iowa
BILE man you ever knew" continued
Vinek. He had a soft voice and an
honest smile.
Il worked for him several times.
He was so kind to the men who
worked for him that the Christians
among them refused to attack the
Jews when the Black Hundreds paint
ed their green signs about the city
Mendel was the sort of man who
would be sorry TO step on an ant
along his path. He thought every
thing of his own children, and all the
children in the neighborhood loved
him.
Il remember when the persecution
of our family began, nine years ago-I
was 10 then-when the Chief of Po-
lice and the soldiers started the riot
ing. They were jealous because near
ly all the shops in our section were
owned by Jews, and the Jews were so
good to their customers that the
Christians took our part.
Lad Fought for His Life.
my father and many other men
were beaten and homes were robbed,
but the Christians refused to help
and the soldiers stopped before many
We're killed Father said a few were
killed, / don't know how many.
Then, year later, the green signs
were put out again, and that means,
Kill the Jews But the Christians
would not rise against US. Then the
Government gave the soldiers money
and they bought liquor and paid
brides and spent days melting the
people. Then, when many were drunk
and the mob had leaders, they started
TO kill

when a bell began to ring he started
