Beware, you orthodox Russians"
reads one of these placards, beware
OF the Jewish slaughterers creeping
up with long, curved knives in order
to enjoy the.Passover relish prepared

1t is an awful thing to invite a
malice bred of superstition which
runs back 500 years. M. Mischuk,
detective head, fastened to frame his
case. Suddenly he and his assistants
were arrested and committed for
trial charged with concealing evil
dence of ritual murder!"
His successor, M. Krassovsky, a
Christian, assumed direction of the
YuStSchinSky case. Investigation
proved to M. Krassovsky that the
murderers were members of the gang
of thieves. Convinced, he had found
his mouthpiece in M. Bedzul Bruch-
kovsky, widely known journalist
who revealed facts certain to keep
racial peace in the Pale-and was or
dered under arrest for his pains.
M. Krassovsky, summariIy de-
NOTED as head of the Kiev detective
bureau, was tried on charge of NOT
taking the ritual murder theory for
granted.
So to the murder mystery was
added the mystery of ruin which
overthrow whoever honestly took the
