AN INDISCREET ACTION
GOVERNOR-GENERAL REBUKED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, January 25. The Daily Mail's Buluwayo correspondent reports that the popular anger at Lord Gladstone's reprieve of a native sentenced to death for having assaulted a white woman has been accentuated by the publication of a private" letter from the Governor-General to a Rhodcsian official, stating that it was time Rliodesian women learned to lock their doors and windows at night.
THE I-lEINOUSNESS OF THE OFFENCE. DEATH PENALTY FOR LESS. Received 26, 9.35 p.m. Capetown, January 2G. The Johannesburg Star says that the native having confessed to a charge of rape, the judge said he was unable to hold out any hope of reprieve. The information available to the public does not disclose any palliating circumstances. Rhodesian law provides a death penalty in the case of a native convicted of an attempt alone. The Star adds that Lord Gladstone, has failed to appreciate the conditions existing in this country.
