Outcome Of Mutiny
CALCUTTA, Sept. 3.
Twenty-nine prisoners and a warder were killed and 136 injured in Dacca jail when a number of security prisoners, transferred from Calcutta, mutinied and refused to work.
The prisoners were so threatening and violent that the warders i were forced to fire.
Three instances of police firing on mobs were reported from New Delhi today. Three persons were killed at Lakhisarai railway station in the Monghyr district. One person was killed at Jhankanptr railway station. Police also fired on an armed and violent mob at Belsand, in the Muzaffarpur district. B. Ramarao, editor of the “National Herald” of Lueknow, lost his appeal against a sentence of six months’ imprisonment and a fine of 750 rupees for conviction as the result of a defamation suit filed by the superintendent of-the former Lucknow camp jail. Rariiarao’s paper, which is owned by Mr.'Nehru, alleged that prisoners were badly treated.
