An analytic expression for the steady state distribution of collisionless objects (stars or other particles) in the relativistic vicinity of a Schwarzschild black hole is derived. It is shown that, for a stellarlike distribution, namely, a distribution with a one-dimensional velocity dispersion about 10 exp 3-10 exp 4 km/s, only a negligible fraction of an initially Maxwellian distribution escapes accretion. Furthermore, it is argued that the above results should, in practice, also be valid in the case of a Kerr black hole. However, if the dispersion velocity is relativistic (not less than 0.25 C), then a zone a few Schwarzschild radii wide, starting at the horizon, will accommodate matter with densities that might exceed the initial one. It is also argued that, in the case of a Kerr black hole, matter will also have angular momentum parallel to the hole's angular momentum. A way to charge black holes via their interaction with neutral plasma is suggested.
