ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 20.-As
result of representations made to the
government by many right-minded Rms
SLAMS, official action in reference to the
Beiliss trial is now within sight.
IT is authoritatively stated that the
minister Of Justice intends TO intervene
and order a suspension of the now
famous case until after strict inquiry
has been made into the circumstances.
This evidently means that the police
method of working up the case against
Beiliss. including the worse than third
degree ordeals to which the prisoner
has been subjected, will be officially
examined.
A sensational story from LodZ credits
8 convict there with having confessed
having murdered the Yushinsky boy.

serving q twelve-year sentence for an
offense against the government at Key
He is reported to have declared to TEL
low prisoners that it was he who
murdered the boy with the aid OF ac-
completes. He says they all received
payment for the job.
An inquiry has been ordered In the
matter Of the convict IS statement, and
il is thought by some that his story
may be genuine
Exodus of Jews.
There has been a great exodus of
Jews from southern and southwestern
Russia since the week before the Beiliss
trial opened. Official statistics show
that Jewish emigration increased three
fold and is still growing, though
usually the emigration season closes Oc-

fronted by a little woman named
Gaevesky who said that about the time
of the murder she was member of
the Cheberyak household. She worked
scribed a number Of sinister occur
rences, Mysterious men, she said, came
to the fiat and left again disguised.
Sometimes they arrived in uniform and
left dressed as artisans.
The witness once overheard Vera
Cheberyak mention TO two visitors that
some one E'was in the way and must
be gotten rid of.
The witness testified that these oc-
currenees finally made her so nervous
that she had TO leave.

In rebutting the Gaevesky woman S
evidence, Vera Cheberyak said that the
former had been paid a salary of $50
a month, and had been dismissed from

dreu. She explained her remark
quoted by the Gaevesky woman by say
ing that the children were very noisy
at Christmas party, and were sent
out Of the room. A boy named Andrew
Mastrenko was at the party, and had
been creating disturbance It was 10
this boy she had referred when she
said that someone must be gotten rid
Of.
Another former inmate of the
Cheberyak home, a workman bv the

said that he had met Vera Chebervak

thing must be done to set him free

in conspiracy TO implicate Vera
Cheberyak. Meanwhile the man who

that his own counsel can scarcely ap.
