In Kiev on November 6 the prosecuting counsel barely mentioned Mendel Beiliss in closing remarks on the murder charge of Christian boy Andrew Yushinsky. The prosecutor insisted Beiliss is guilty and described dragging Yushinsky toward a brick furnace where Beiliss worked. He argued the suspect could be an expiatory victim for his co religionists and highlighted crime scene cloth and a burned stable as supporting evidence.
