In Holland and Professionally accepted by

They will probably be destroyed.
There was no deception in the matter
Mr.. Sabin. the man from whom he bought
the articles and representatives of the Ma
tional Gallery acted in cooperation to
obtain verlilcation Of the authenticity of
the alleged relics. They submitted the
question to Dutch expert, pr. Bredius
who is now visiting America. DIR. Bredius
without asserting absolutely that they
were spurious, gave reasons for seriously
doubling their genuineness. whereupon the
seller released Mr.. Sabn from the bargain
and took back the articles which, he says
lie will destroy.
AT the time Of the discovery OF the
supposed relics grave doubts were fel.
about their having belonged to Rembrandt
on account Of the fact that the. had lain

by the wife of an official named Soko.

positive that tho child was the son u
her nephew and that he disappeared from

residents Of Zhilomir corroborate this

Tho case promises to rival the Bells

Herman Bernstein, secretary Of the
American Jewish Committee, said yes-
terday that a full report Of the latcs,
case OF alleged ritual murder which
has been received by that organization
proves that the murdered boy was not a
Christian, as has been said, but Jew

Jews rails to pieces.
