COLOR FEUD
WERE JURIES PREJUDICED PRES SINDIGNANT CAPETOWN, April 6. Two trials of members of the South African Police force, in which they were found by juries not guilty of charges of inflicting injury on various native colored prisoners, for the purpose of eliciting evidence from them, are subject, to severe press criticism. The press declares in the light of the judge's summing up that the judge believed the accused had used violence to extort the truth while complainants were in their custody. The Cape Times says: "The verdicts must, make every white man shudder for his own color, appalled that white jurymen should be so carried away by ignoble color prejudice." Generally the colored and native situation in the Union is causing profound anxiety.
