MISS MALECKA SENTENCED.
_ —t FOUR YEARS' IMPRISONMENT. By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright. (Rec. May 13, 0.30 a.m.) St. Petersburg, May 12. Miss Malecka, the imprisoned musician, whose nationality has been in dispute, has been found guilty at Warsaw and sentenced to four years' servitude. The prosecution asserted that Miss Malecka was associated with Joseph Pilsudzki, the organiser of two bomb attacks on trains carrying Government Funds. Miss Piekarska gave evidence that Miss Malecka knew Bronislas Pilsudzki, a Polish ethnographer, but not Joseph Pilsudzki. The accused acted as intermediary for tho sale of Bronislas Pilsudzki's collection to Cambridge University. Miss Maleekn's counsel stated that, being an Englishwoman, she had not suspected that she would be prosecuted merely for holding Socialist opinions, and went to Poland to see her father's country and visit Chopin's birthplace.
