Evidence that the profanation libel was prepared before the Lemberg procession was held, was submitted to the Ministry of the Interior by the Executive Committee of the Warsaw Kehillah.
The Executive forwarded to the government department the originals of the threatening letters received by the Kehillah from two Catholic priests in charge of churches situated in the Jewish quarter of Warsaw. These letters, dated June 1, a day before the Lemberg procession, contained charges similar to those made in Lemberg as a pretext for the riots. The letters will be submitted to the Council of Ministers, it was stated.
