ALLEGED EXAGGERATED REPORT. THE LATEST CRIME. - (Received Last Night, 11.25 o'clock.) CAPETOWN, February 8. Replying to a member's suggestion, General J. B. A. Hertzog, AttorneyGeneral, stated that the report's concerning the assaults by natives on the Rand were exaggerated. The Government did not intend to instruct Judges to inflict the death penalty for attempted assaults. Five thousand persons attended a meeting at the Wanderers' Club in Johannesburg, and resolved that the honour of white women must be protected. The penalty for attempted rape should be death. Increased police protection was imperative j and the gradual elimination of male natives as domestics was essential.
The details of the Pankalonga outrage show that the native came to the door, pretending to be a messenger. He forced admission, and seized the lady, of the house. A desperate struggle ensued. The lady finally freed herself, procured a revolver, and shot her assailant dead.
