In the neighboring town of Borispol a crowd of rioters, stimulated by alcohol, threatened to pass from pillage to murder.

When checked by the police and Cossacks, they threw themselves with fury upon these untoward defenders of the Jewish population, and began to maltreat them, until a few rifle shots put them to flight.
The same was the case in Nyezhin, [1] where a pogrom was enacted on July 20 and 22.

After several vain attempts to stop the riots, the military was forced to shoot at the infuriated crowd, killing and wounding some of them.

This was followed by the cry: "Christian blood is flowing--beat the Jews!"-- and the pogrom was renewed with redoubled vigor.

It was stopped only on the third day.
[Footnote 1: In the government of Chernigov.] The energy of the July pogroms had evidently spent itself in these last ferocious attempts.
