BURMA RIOTS
Days of Horror OUTRAGES BY MOB Sydney, July 25. Stories of the days of horror during the Burma riots were related by Mrs. N. Freeman on her arrival from Rangoon. Once four natives were caught by an infuriated mob near her husband’s house,' and dismembered before her eyes. The attackers used long cane knives. They cut off the victims’ arms to prevent retaliation in the next world. Another practice was to amputate every finger and arrange them in a circle around the corpse. Mr. and Mrs. Freeman entertained Messrs. Kingsford Smith, Ulm, and Chichester, and Miss Amy Johnson at Rangoon.
