SURRENDER OF ARAB LEADER
ABDUL RAZZAK AND 16 FOLLOWERS' (Received April 15, 6.30 p.m.) JERUSALEM, April 14. Abdul Razzak, the principal leader of the Arab bands in Palestine, has surrendered to the military authorities in Syria, with 16 of his followers. Allegations have appeared in the German Press that an Arab boy was abducted and murdered in Lydda by British soldiers. Inquiries show that the only incident in which an Arab boy has been involved took place on April 12 during a military search, when an Arab boy drew a pistol and tried to fire at the troops. The pistol misfired and the boy ran away but was wounded and captured. Subsequently, he told the soldiers who caught him that he had fired on the instructions of a certain Fakhri Maraka, a notorious terrorist, who accordingly has been arrested.
