Within thirty minutes there was

sary, to make any fishery laws for the
Potomac valid, that the legislatures of
both States shall concur in them. This
comes down from the compact of 1855.
Conclusions on this occasion took form
in naming a subcommittee to draft the
resolution and bill to be presented to
the next legislature in each state. On
this committee were placed Senators
Benson and Frere for Maryland. and
Senator Walker and Delegate Brown
for Virginia.
While the matter of defining the ter

Jenkins award of 1877 was the primal
object for which the commissions We're
appointed by the late legislatures, the
matter of territorial fishing limits was

hurst apartment house then was sent
for The janitor came to the station
house and Immediately picked out
Schmidt as the man who had rented
the fat where Anna Aumuller was
killed.
Schmidt said when first arrested that
he was married to Anna Aumuller, but
later said ne was not. In his Dom at
st. Iasephs rectory was "A marriage
license taken out in the names of
Hans Schmidt and Anna Aumuller,
dated February 26. 1913. When first
admitting that he and the girl had
been married, he said in answer to a
question as to where and by whom
he and the girl had been welded, I'm
a priest and so married us our
selves"
The girl would have become moth
er in about four months.
From the West one Hundred and

was taken down to police headquarters.
Assistant District Attorney Murphy
and Coroner FcinbcrE were summoned
by Inspector Faurot, To both the cor

peated substantially the same story he
had told Inspector Faurot. Neither

schmidt during a string Of statements
about his connection with the church
which were Mt variance with state
mrnts he had made earlier said that
hc was AN inspector. and once was ar

The only motive advanced by the pc

brickyard in whose clay pit little
Massachusetts, body was discovered.
Mendel Bells was Waterman of
that yard. His house is far up over J
the hilltop. He is simple man, I'M
able to read o rwrite. Such ignorance
is Jewish. Let me explain:
In Russia it is crime to be born |
a Jew. The Russian Jew is an alien, |
never a citizen. In the public schools |
there must be nineteen Christian
children to every one Jewish child!
If Jewish boy dies his parents must |
produce youth to serve in the army
as his substitute. A Jew can hold
no Office, own no land, take no jour-
ney without express permission. At |
Kev-there have been published 300 |
pages of anti-Jewish laws. One law
in twenty has been translated into
Yiddish. The other nineteen are in
Russian-and the poor Jew knows
little Russian. So he goes to prison |
for breaking law he never knows. |
So ghetto life teens with trouble. |
Nothing is certain but uncertainty. |
am not complaining. am citing |
facts. It is necessary you understand |
why Mendel Bells, Jew, is ignorant.
When he was taken to prison he did |
not know why. He did not think to
demand a lawyer. Terror and power
ty are poor advisers, and for seven
months no friend saw him.
Now we have come to the first in
dictment of Mendel Bells. Observe
how truth and falsehood mingle in
this case. 1t is written in the first
indictment: !.
First-That Mendel Bells took the +
boy Andrusha Yustschinsky. There
you have a charge which the trial
only can prove. L
Second the child was tor
tured. Only doctor can decide that.
