(Received April 10, 9.14 a.m.)
St. Petersburg, April 9. The trial of persons concerned in the massacre of Jews at Gomel, in September last, was only a mockery. Witnesses were alternately browbeaten and cajoled, the real criminals being shielded and released, and Jews indicted for causing the massacre of Christians in revenge for the Kishineff massacre.
The town of Gomel, in Mohilev, one of the most Jewish regions in the Russian Empire, was the scene in September of an anti-Semi-tic riot, in which the police did not appear at all, while the troops protected the rioters. The slaughter and destruction did not equal that of Kishineff only because tho riot was checked sooner.
