Conduct hardly compatible with concealing a crime.

A · Authenticity

Fact established by study of the trial records.

The body is found in Samuel's cellar; he and two other Jews report it to the authorities.

C · Probative value

Contradicts the scenario of a concealed collective crime; this fact was omitted from the later official account.

Did Jews practise rites involving the murder of children?
