NOT GUILTY
—A DACCA CONSPIRACY CASE. THE ASSESSORS' FINDING. (Received June 19, 9.20 a.m.) CALCUTTA, June 18. The assessors who enquired into the Dacca conspiracy case found that the prisoners were not guilty. The assessors described the Government evidence as unreliable, and the evidence of tlie police and spies as worthless and incredible. They added that the Samid organisation was intended to relieve helpless sufferers and promote physical culture.
(The prisoners, numbering fortytwo-, were arrested in August la.st. It was stated at til© tim® that the police had received a parcel containing a human skull and a- letter threatening them with death. One police agent told how he luid penetrated to the. inner council of a. secret society. He explained, how dacoities were plana)ed and arms collected. The associations known as Samitis, and consisting of what are called volunteei's, were formed in 1902. Last month it was reported that, on tlie ground that the evidence of identification was doubtful and that records had been, tampered with, the High Court acquitted two of the Bengalis oliargod with shooting Inspector Ghose, a witness in the Dacca conspiracy cas<y.)
