After the mob had crossed over to the Turkish side, the authorities drew up military cordons on all the three bridges leading from that side to the rest of the town, with the order not to allow any Jews to pass.

Needless to say, the order was carried out.

At the same time the Christians of the remaining sections of the town and of the village of Alexandrovka were allowed to pass unhindered.

Thanks to these arrangements, the Turkish side was sacked in the course of three to four hours, so that by one o'clock in the morning the rioters found nothing left to do.

During the night, the police and military authorities arrested twenty-four rioters and a much larger number of Jews.
