INDIAN UNREST
BIG REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT FINANCED BY ROBBERY, NATIVES SENTENCED TO DEATH IBy Cable-Press Assn. - Copyright.) (Received 24, 9.10 a.m.) Delhi, Aug. 23. The biggest revolutionary movement in India of recent years reached the climax to-day when the Chief Court of Oudh confirmed the death sentences on four Indians charged with complicity in a train robbery and murder. The accused had been before the courts for two years. It was through the accused holding up a passenger train and looting it in 1925 that the authorities discovered the existence of a widespread revolutionary organisation in the United and Central Provinces working in concert with the main organisation in Bengal. The result was that the police watched suspects and made many arrests and seized arms and ammunition.
The accused, with 24 othera, made a practice of holding up trains with the object of securing money to finance the revolutionary movement. —(A. and N.Z.)
