DEATH IN PRISON
MRS. GANDHI’S FUNERAL. NEW DELHI, Feb. 23. The body of Mrs. Gandhi was eremated on a funeral pyre at Poona to-day in the presence of Gandhi, many prominent Indians, and also some of Gandhi’s followers who are not detained, including the Englishborn Miss Slade.
Gandhi, broke down and wept at the funeral. He was presumably taken back to the place of detention. The Indian press sharply criticises the Government of India for refusing to release Mrs. Gandhi from prison before her death.
