BENGAL OUTRAGE
MAGISTRATE SHOT DEAD CRIME COMMITTED BY WOMEN NUMBER OF ARRESTS MADE (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 12.20 a.m.) Calcutta, December 14. Bengal witnessed a terrible revival of terrorist activity this morning when Charles Buckland Stevens, District Magistrate and Collector of Comilla (East Bengal), was shot dead by two Indian women. This is the first occasion on which an outrage against officials has been committed by women. The assassination followed a series of police raids on Saturday on the hostels and houses of students suspected of being anarchists. The sequel was the theft of a loaded revolver from the house of a Comilla doctor, whose compounder and ten youths have been arrested.
