EAST INDIAN RAILWAY SMASH ALLEGATIONS AGAINST Europeans. “DEAD AND WOUNDED TREATED WORSE THAN DOGS.” (United Prese Association—By CableCopyright.] (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) (Received 14, 11.45 a.m.) Delhi, July 13. There is intense indignation among Europeans over the publication in the chief Nationalist newspaper, “Forward,” of letters by eye-witnesses alleging that the true death roll in the railway smash on the East Indian railway, in which sabotage was alleged, has been deliberately concealed. “Dead and wounded were treated worse than dogs by the relief train party. The wounded were searched and killed. Wherever a cry arose from the wreckage a European came with a light and then there was the sound of heavy blows and the voice ceased.” The writei offers to prove that the dead numbered more than 300 instead of 20, as reported. He says the dying were despatched with rods and many of the dead and wounded were conveyed to an unknown destination.
