(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

The body of the Jewish workman Haase, which was found in the River Oder, was exhumed at the order of the police, in connection with the ritual murder accusation which was spread by anti-Semitic newspapers in Breslau.

The “Schlesische Voelkstimme” circulated a report that Haase’s death had some relation to the death of two children found murdered in Breslau. The investigation established the fact that there could be no relation between Haase’s death and that of the children.
