SENTENCED TO DEATH
Eight Human Leopards Press Association. — Londoa, Nov. 20. Eight "human leopards," says the Brussels correspondent of the Time:, have been sentenced to death, two to 20 years in gaol and six others to lesser terms. The accused had been c victed of murders followed oy feasts on human flesh in the Belgian Congo. It was thought originally that the murders were "ritual crimes," but ethnologists decided that the "human leopards" are not a sect. The murders, of which there have been 85 since 1928, were due to a vendetta.
