The trial is concluded of seven natives, members of a society who were an organised band of native murderers and robbers. They murdered a miner, his wife and child, and they were accidentally disturbed in the horrible immoralities of the society's ritual. Four were sentenced to death. The evidence showed that the crime was the result of a huge illicit trade in liquor; the result is a general demand for stringent liquor legislation. The authorities removed the trial to Pretoria, fearing the accused would be lynched.
