The soldier, searched his clothes and mouth and combed his, beard. In reply to £is remonstrances, the soldier said, "Shut up, you.' devil. I have, been told to kill you." Beiliss's cries brought, the Governor, who said, "We are looking for poison." Afterwards, he was treated more kindly. Mounting the staircase on the final morn ing, he passed two students wearing "Black' Hundred" buttons. One of them, shaking his fist, said, ."They will teach you to kill Christian children, you dirty Jew." Be'.liss was greatly cheered in the presence of one hundred journalists, knowing that all countries would be made aware of tho facts, and that nothing would be hushed up.
