MURDER OF THE SIRDAR.

Cafro, April 22.

The judicial authorities have published a summary of confes- sions of some of the nine accused who were yesterday indicted in connection with the murder of the Sirdar, showing the existence of a secret society for the organisation of political crimes, called the "Society of Vengeance," of which two students and two artisans, who, will be charged with the murder, and a lawyer and a Government official, who will be charged with complicity, were membere. It appears from the confessions that following the failure of converan- tiona, between Zaghlul Pasha and Mr. Ramsey Macdonald in London; the conspirators met at the lawyer's house and decided to coronit a political murder, choosing the Sirdar as the victim,

The police to-day arrested a railway workshops employee named Hajahmed, at his domicile, where they discovered a revolver and a quantity of ammunition of a type used in six outrages. Further developments are probable. Indications point to the police finally getting to the root of things-Router.
