JEWS FOUND GUILTY

BERLIN, October 23. --After a trial which caused much excitement, two Jews have been convicted at Caslin, Pomerania [Germany], of setting fire to a synagogue in order to obtain the insurance thereon. They were each sentenced to four years' imprisonment. A number of others who were implicated were convicted and sentenced to shorter terms of imprisonment. The crime was originally attributed to the Christians.
