Murderer Has To Die
A MESSENGER аг- rived at the whitewalled prison of Mankaiana, in Swaziland, South Africa, with a cable from London.
Fakisandhla Nkambule, sab-! 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 Chief Fakisandhla they meant three words: YOU MUST DIE
A few hours before, In. Downing- street room In the Landon Fakiann- dhin did not know, Lord Thankerton had spoken seventeen words:-
This appeal will be dismissed for reasons which will be given in the judgment now being prepared,
The judgment of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council- highest tribunal in the Empire.
Medicine Man At Feast Fakisandhla wolts no longer to know his fate. The death sentence passed on him by a Swaziland court In October 1938 is confirmed.
He was sentenced for procuring the deaths of one of his wives, a brother, and that brother's wHe.
It was alleged that he procured "medicine man" to poison the three people at u ceremonial feust: because he suspected them of hav- Ing killed his mother and daughter.
Fakisandhla denied procuring the murders, and said all he asked for was the performance of the cere- mony of luzego, to cure him of bad dreams.
This ceremony consisted of the making of a speciul rope and the placing of it by night across the graves of the people whose spirits were believed to be causing the dreams.
In March last year he was granted
leave to special
appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and the appeal was heard last month.
Now Fakisundhla has only one last chance of escaping being honged- 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- Infans will leave within three weeks, Mr. Shakespeare, Chairman of the Children's Overseas Reception Board, announced during a broadcast to- day. He added that if possible an and carlier start would be made, thereafter there would be a steady stream of departures.
Declaring that the Dominion gov- crnments had stated their readiness to welcome immediately 20,000 chil- dren, Mr. Shakespearo said the scheme must be limited to the num- bers the Dominions were able to receive, though he was assured that the Agure of 20,000 might be re- garded as a beginning.
Shipping capacity was a further miting factor, and it was dangerous and stupid to talk.bly about send- Ing hundreds of thousands of chil- dren overseas in a few weeks. Reuter.
