Moscow. April S.-(By the Associ-
Ated Press.)-A recent recalling OF
the famous trial at kiev in 1918 OF
Mendel Beiliss. a Jew. on a charge OF
killing a boy for religious ritualistic
purposes, has been injected into the
situation resulting from the soviet
governments confscation of church
treasures.
The Russian newspapers detail the
trial of an old woman ame Rom

cused of attempting to start n pogroIn
against an elderly jew named Gindin,
whom they charged with the murder
of a Christian baby for the same
reason alleged in the Beiliss case.
