Court at Death Cave Crime Blamed on Family
Mendel Belis stands trial for the 1910 murder of Andrew Yushinsky. The court traveled to the cave where the body was found, hearing witnesses who claimed the slain boy’s aunt said his own people killed him and that an unknown stranger near the cave linked to the case. The lengthy session involved travel by carriage, car, and foot in rain through hilly terrain with armed guards encircling the grim proceedings.
