INDIAN ROBIN HOOD.

SENTENCED TO 23 YEARS' IMPRISONMENT.

HYDERABAD (Sindh), July 8th, The romantic career of Miran Jamali, described as the "Robin Hood of Sindh, terminated to-day when he and his com pations were sentenced to varying terms of seven to 23 years of zigorous imprison. ment, Miran Jamali getting the longest term...

How daring the adventurous Miran Jamali's ways had been may be judged from the. story related during the trial when in September, 1921, two Khilafalists were being tried behind closed doors.

Miran Jamali, who describes himself as a staunch, Khilafatist out to fight the Government, which #persecuted, the Khilafatista for the political agitation. suddenly dropped down on the scene of the trial through an opening in the root and demanded the release of the Kila fatists at the revolver paint. No other course was open but to comply, and Miran
