BULGARIAN GOVERNMENT’S RUTHLESS MURDERS DENOUNCED. BRITISH M.P.’S REPORT SHOCKING TYRANNY. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.—Sydney ,m Sun ” Cable. (Received May 1, 8.-15 a.m.) LONDON, April 30. The Rt. Hon. Josiah Wedgewood, Mr W. Mackinder, and Mr P. B. Malone, members of the House of Commons, who recently returned from Bulgaria, report that after the explosion in Sofia, lorries left the prisons during the night, taking batches of prisoners to the country to be shot. The Government, which came into power through a series of murders, beginning with the assassination of Premier Stambendisky in 3 923, had been guilty of ruthless tyranny, and of murdering their political opponents. Many thousands had been tortured, strangled, or pounded to death. “ This will surely arouse a volcanic upheaval,” they state. They urge all Anglo-American peoples to protest against these executions and imprisonments without trial.
