Robert Kooper, chosen to the presiWhen the judge pronounced sentence and the public applauded the decision, the court immediately declared that Shumov was wholly innocent and that the trial had been staged as a means of propaganda agiiMst antiSemitism, which has lately begun to spread among the Gorstorg workers.

In order to make an object lesson, they selected Vasily Shumov.
