A MESSENGER rived at the whitewalled prison of Mankaiana, in Swaziland, South Africa, with a cable from London. Fakisandita Nkambule, sub- 'ordinate chief of Swaziland, waiting in the cell in which he had waited for nineteen months, was told what the cable said.
Just two words: Appeal dismissed. To Chlet Fakinndhia they meant three words: YOU MUST DIE.
A few hours before, In a Downing-

Fakisandhla waits no longer to know his fate. The death sentence passed on him by a Swaziland court in October 1930 is confirmed.
He was sentenced for procuring the deaths of one of his wives, n brother, and that brother's wife.
It was alleged that he procured a "medielne man" to poison the three people at a ceremonial fenst because he suspected them of hav-

Now Fakisandhla has only one last chance of escaping being hanged- a plea for mercy to the High Com- missioner for South Africa.

Evacuation Of Children
London, June 23.
The first selected parties of chil- dren to be evacuated to the Domi- nions will leave within three weeks, Mr. Shakespeare, Chairman of the Children's Overseas Reception Board, announced during a broadens td- day. He added that if possible an earlier stort would be made, and thereafter there would be a steady. siream of departures.
Declaring that the Dominion gov- ernments had stated their readiness to "welcome" "bamediately 20,000' chil- dren, Mr. Shakespeare said the ccheme must be limited to the num- bers the Dominions were able to receive, though he was assured that the figure of 20,000 might be re- garded as a beginning.
Shipping capacity was a further Hmiting factor and it was dangerous and stupid to talk'glibly about send- ing hundreds of thousands of chil- dren overseas in a few weeks. Reuter,
