Wife’s Vigil.—An old Indian woman has been sitting outside a Durban Magistrate’s Court every weekday for more than 14 years waiting for her husband who was tried for murder and sentenced to death. It is said that before he went into court he told her: “Wait for me here—l /on’t be long.” The years have passed, but still the old woman waits for the husband who will never return. During her daily vigil she does not speak to anyone, even when addressed. She is always cleanly dressed and is obviously not a poor woman.—Durban (Reuter).
