THE RAND REVOLT.
DEATH SENTENCES IMPOSED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Capetown, December 6. The trial has ended at Johannesburg of Garnsworthy, a well-known miner and seven others, who were charged with murder in connection with the attack on the Brakpan mine during the revolution, when a number of defenders of the mine were killed. All the accused were sentenced to death. Three were virtually recommended to mercy. There was a great crowd outside the court awaiting the result, but no demonstration took place. After the verdict Garnsworthy shouted protestations and denounced the two witnesses who had turned King’s evidence. The pronouncement of the sentences was greeted with sobbing by women and a noisy farewell demonstration by relatives and friends of the condemned men.
