Danger of anti-Jewsh excesses in Lemberg was averted when rumors that a Jewish ice cream dealer had sold poisoned ice cream were proved false.
A large number of persons suffered from poisoned ice cream. It was established that the person who sold the ice cream was not a Jew, as the rumors which had been spread claimed. Among those who were poisoned, ten were Jews. One of the victims, a Jewish woman, died from the effects of the poison.
