INCITING HATRED.
Indian Editor Gaoled For
Falsehoods.
STRIKE RIOT SEQUEL.
(United Servicc.) (Received 12 noon.) CALCUTTA, October 1. The editor of the Calcutta Nationalist daily paper "Forward" was sentenced to imprisonment for three months and fined £300 for the publication of an article, "Horrified Eye-witnesses," in which are allegations that 50 per cent of the Indian victims of the Belur railway disaster were knocked on the head with iron rods by the European staff of the relief train in order to save the trouble of rescue. In the course of a scathing judgment the magistrate held that there was not the slightest foundation for the allegations. The article was written for the purpose of creating hatred for Europeans by the Indians and published with the same motive. When the police searched the Press the manuscript had disappeared. The printer foreman was fined £67.
