NEW YORK. May 7The central com-
mittee for the relief of the KIshlneff suf-
ferers gave out a statement tonight which
says:
"The full story of the terrible massacres
which occurred In KIshlneff, the capital
of Bazarahla, on April 21 to 23, shows
that at least 100 Jewish men. women and
children and some non-Jews who defended
them were butchered, and that more than
1000 persons were wounded. One telegram
states that vanloads of cripples were sent
to Odessa, the nearest city, while many
started an investigation and undertakes
to protect the Jews, the rioting is spread-
ing to th whole of Russian Jewry.
"According to letters received by mem
bers of the central committee for the- re
lief of the KIshlneff sufferers from the
center of the rioting, not one Jewish "house
escaped unscathed. Only those who man
aged to hide escaped death. Two hundred
persons were killed, and the hospitals are
overcrowded. For three days in .succes
sion we were assaulted and robbed. Now
word has been received from St Peters
burg that we may shoot In self-defense.
Thousands of soldiers patrol the streets.
Christians who attempted to defend the
Jews were also killed. The new market
was destroyed and Alexandrow street was
ruined. Hundreds of erstwhile wealthy
families were huddled together In a starv
ing condition. They were robbed of all
they possessed, and what the frenzied
mob could not take they destroyed. Those
who were saved are now living In terror
of a repetition of the. atrocities."
