FORTY LEPERS SHOT.
A TERRIBLE OUTRAGE
Shanghai, January 11
The authorities at Nanning prf • tended to accept a Catholic Father’s offer to build a lazar house for destitute lepers who had been living for some years a good few miles outside the town. They dug a pit on the parade ground, partly filling it with wood soaked with kerosene. They then drove the lepers into the pit at the bayonet’s point. Thirty-nine lepers were shot, and incinerated in the presence of largo crowds. A fortieth was afterwards shot.
