It was followed by the demolition of five more houses owned by Jews.

In these houses the mob destroyed everything that fell into its hands.

The doors and windows were broken and everything inside was thrown into the streets.

On this occasion six adults and one boy was killed; five Jews were wounded, two of whom died soon afterwards.
The governor of Nizhni-Novgorod reported that the disorders could not possibly have been foreseen.

Yet there can be no doubt that the people were to a certain extent prepared for them.
