520    On March 20, 1911, a 13-year-old boy was found stabbed to 
       death in a cave on the outskirts of Kiev. Four months 
       later, Russian police arrested Mendel Beilis, a 37-year-
       old father of five, and charged him not only with Andrei's
       murder but also with the Jewish ritual murder of a 
       Christian child. Despite the fact that there was no 
       evidence linking him to the crime, and that he had a solid
       alibi, Beilis was imprisoned for more than two years. As a
       handful of Russian officials and journalists diligently 
       searched for the real killer, the rabid anti-Semites known
       as the Black Hundreds created a frenzy throughout Russia. 
       The incompetent trial brought Russian liberals to Beilis's
       side, as well as an array of international supporters. The
       jury's split verdict allowed both sides to claim victory: 
       they agreed with the prosecution's description of the 
       boy's wounds--a description implying a ritual murder--but 
       they determined that Beilis was not the murderer. After 
       the fall of the Romanovs in 1917, a renewed effort to find
       Andrei's killer was not successful.--From publisher
