OSMAN'S CONDIGN FATE
LONDON, 4th April. The "SJaily Telegraph's" correspondent at Constantinople says that Osman Afa for years -organised the massacres of Christians and the robberies of Greek churches, from which he is reputed to have amassed a fortune of £500,000. His body is to be hanged by the legs from the gibbet in front of the National Assembly.. "So," says the correspondent, "ends a career of crime and violence for the equal of which one must go back to the Dark Ages. Osman recently had been increasing his political power, and mightsoon have rivalled Chukri Bey as a critic of the Government. Thus two awkward men have been removed as the result of a purely personal quarrel."
