[by CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
(Received June 21, 11.30 a.m.) CAPE TOWN, June 20.
A twenty-five-year-old Indian, Yashpal, son of a rich landowner, was buried alive for fifteen minutes, at Durban, as a Yoga demonstration to raise money to build a Veidic church at Durban.
Yashpal removed his sandals, enveloped himself in a rich gown, and descended into a hole, after signing an indemnity. The hole was covered with boards and sacks of earth a foot deep. When removed, Yashpal was found motionless and cross-legged, normality in a minute. Yashpal claims that he can remain bulried for twenty-eight hours.
