In this one both victims are Jewish, since the murder plot turns on the bodies being swapped to confuse identification (there's also some implication the murderer is motivated by racism as well as by personal jealousy of his main victim.)
Unfortunately, they wouldn't let Sayers mention circumcision, so Lord Peter is forced to identify the first victim as "Semetic" without any clear reason, effectively just saying "well... he looks Jewish."
