SOUTHERN NIGERIA
STAMPING OUT HUMAN SACRIFICE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, January 1. Advices from Southern Nigeria report that the British Conmissioner has stamped out a recrudescence of long-practised juju rites. Several of the chief priests were condemned to death, but Kanuckuru, the arch-conspirator, escaped with three years' imprisonment owing to inability to fasten a .murder charge on him. Three thousand slaves who were to have been victims were found hidden near Kanuckuru's compound. Kanuckuru has amassed half a million sterling from the slave traffic.
