NJ. Krassovsky, the chief of Kief

findings were duly improved, but

time later the successor of KrassoV-

been found indicating that ritual

story was so plausible that a move
ment in his favor was started. NJ

attorneys in Russia. was retained in
his behalf.
The contention Of the defense was
that Yushinsky had been killed be
