But Frederick's bias is evident in his own words when, in publishing his decision, he gives his objects in calling these people together, "although our conscience regarded the innocence of the aforesaid Jews adequately proved on the ground of several writings."

Early in the next day, a peasant woman found outside the village a mutilated child's body with the hands bound and lying on his face in a puddle among thorn hedges. The type of wounds and the
circumstance of the body being empty of blood steered suspicion toward the Jews of the village, especially since an entire series of similar crimes from earlier years had remained unsolved. The entire Jewish population of the market town was "taken prisoner." A court commission under the chairmanship of the Count of "St. George and Bösing" determined exactly the type of the wounds on the body and proceeded then to harsh individual interrogation of those arrested. The Jew David Saifmacher confessed that the Jew Michel took the child captive and got him into the cellar and after a while a great number of Jews showed up in order to torture the child.

tortured in the presence of the elders of the Kahal, mutilated and ritually
butchered. The tortures extended over several days. The blood was collected in

1882 A.D. – At Tisza-Eszlar, shortly before the Jewish Passover, the 14- year-old Christian
girl Esther Solymosi disappeared. Since the girl was last seen nearby the synagogue,
suspicion was directed immediately on the Jews. The two sons of the temple-servant Josef

distinguished lawyer of the Greek community, sent a petition to the representatives of all the

doctors declared the mother of the kidnapped and murdered child to be mentally deranged.

Cybulla was found one January morning under a bridge. According to the doctor's opinion,
the dismemberments showed great expertise and dexterity in the use of the knife. Although
the murdered boy had been strong and plethoric, the dead body was completely bloodless.
Immediately suspicion fell on various Jews, and during the investigation some very
troublesome facts emerged. These, however, were not considered sufficient and the arrested
Jews were released. (Otto Glagau, der Kulturki, Heft 119. 15. Mai 1885)

blood from the boy. The Jews recognized the danger and declared Bernstein to be a 'religious
maniac.'

freshman, Ernst Winter, was bestially murdered. Two days later pieces of his dismembered
body were fished out of the Monschsee; almost five days later, on April 15th, the first Easter
holy day, his head was found by children playing in the bushes. The corpse was completely
bloodless. Winter was ritually murdered. The murder was carried out in the cellar of the
Jewish Butcher, Moritz Levi, after the victim had been lured there by a young Jewess. On the
day of the murder, a large number of foreign Jews were in Konitz who departed the next day
without any plausible reason being given for their visit. Among them were the butchers
Haller from Tuchel, Hamburger from Schlochau, Eisenstedt from Prechlau and Rosenbaum
from Ezersk. The Konitz butcher Heimann disappeared shortly after the murder.
1911 A.D. – The 13-year-old schoolboy, Andrei Youshchinsky was murdered in Kiev on
March 12th. After eight days, his corpse was found in a brickyard completely slashed to
pieces and bloodless. Suspicion fell on the Jewish manager of the brickyard, Mendel Beiliss.
The case did not come to trial until two and a half years later (Sept. 29th to Oct. 28th,
1913). In the intervening period numerous attempts were made to lead the investigating
officers on to the wrong track. Meanwhile a large number of incriminating witnesses suffered
sudden and unnatural deaths; false accusations and confessions followed one after another
due to huge money bribes. Behind the accused lurking in the shadows, was the figure of
Faivel Schneerson of the Lubavitchers, leader of the 'Zadiks' ('Saints') of the Chassidim sect,
who was the spiritual director of the murder. The trial ended with the release of Beiliss, but
at the same time the court established that the murder had taken place inside the Jewish
brickyard, which was the religious center of the Kiev Jews, for the purpose of obtaining
blood. Almost all the prosecutors, witnesses, and authorities who had spoken out against
Judaism, later fell victim to the Bolshevik Terror. (Ausfuhrliche Darstellungen des Prozeßes

1928 A.D – Gladbeck, Germany: This occurred at the time of Purim; a twenty-year-old
Christian lad called Helmuth Daube was found dead in front of his home, with his
throat cut, his genital organs missing, whilst there were wounds on the hands and
stabs in the abdomen. There was no blood about where the body was found and it was bloodless. Experts said in Court that the throat showed the Jewish ritual cut. The Jews set to work and eventually a young Gentile called Huszmann was accused of the murder, unnatural lust being alleged as a feature in the crime. The case was conducted against Huszmann by a Jew called Rosenbaum, and special police had been sent from Berlin to enquire about the circumstances; the President of the Police at Berlin was the Jew Bernhard Weiss. These special police did what they could to convince the Court that it was a "lust-murder," but Huszmann was acquitted. The Bochumer Abendhlatt and Der Sturmer both gave their opinion that it was a Ritual Murder by Jews, and the latter paper was suppressed for a time, and its editor imprisoned. Y.
