The Jewish student Khazanowitch has been sentenced to ten years solitary confinement for shooting the famous Russian physician Stuckey.

Khazanovitch committed the crime as revenge for an unsuccessful operation performed by the physician upon his sister, who died as a result of it. The court in sentencing the student, also took into consideration the fact that he belongs to an abnormal family, which had among its members several suicides.
