A CALLOUS FARMER
NATIVE DIES FROM FLOGGING IMPRISONMENT IMPOSED (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) CAPETOWN, October 24. A Transvaal farmer, convicted of flogging a native servant suspected of stealing cakes, has, following the native’s death, been sentenced to six months with hard labour and a flogging of six strokes. It is usually difficult to get juries to convict in such cases. The judge described the farmer’s conduct as a disgrace to the nation.
