(1) Der Xantener Knabenmord vor dem Schwurgericht zu Kleve, 4.-14. Juni 1892.
Vollständiger stenographischer Bericht Berlin, 1893. [The Xanten Boy-Murder before
the Jury-Court at Cleves, 4-14 June 1892. Complete stenographic report].
(2) See p. 260 and following pages.
(3) According to statements of Commissar Wolff before the jury-court at Cleves
on 6 July 1892, a Jewish mediator spoke in the Berlin police praesidium and proposed
the sending of a crime commissar, "since the child-murder would be blamed on the Jews,
who would be in great distress." On 25 September Wolff departed from Berlin in his
official capacity, after his being sent had been financed by the Jewish side! These matters
brought Stoecker, among others, to speak in the Prussian House of Deputies on 9
February 1892: ". . .then the Jewish press itself tells that the Crime Commissar
Wolff was paid with 700 Marks -- something which is incomprehensible according to my
view of things, but which I will only believe if the Herr Minister admits that this is the
case." In the same session Jutstice Minister von Schelling replied: "The synagogue
congregation at Xanten arranged the despatch of crime commissars first with the
President of the government and then later with the Minister of the Interior, and if I am
informed correctly, the synagogue congregation has even provided the financial means at
disposal [of the government] for the sending of this crime commissar, and it well might be
the 700 Marks of which the Deputy Stoecker has spoken." (a lively hear! hear! [reaction of
audience])
(4) What is referred to is the chief state's attorney Hamm in Cologne!
(5) Most are bank-Jews! Manché, as "Court Jew" and "cabinet chief" of Kaiser
Wilhelm I, had been accused of fraudulent trading in orders and titles, but had been
acquitted!
(6) See Appendix, page 428 and following page.
(7) Crime Commissar Wolff, who had questioned Buschhoff several times in the preliminary
investigation, characterized this hardness of hearing at his questioning on the third day
in the following way: "Buschhoff already had trouble hearing then, particularly in such
matters as involved ticklish questions; it was difficult to communicate with him. . ."

Cleves! (From the indictment).
