HUNGARIAN BOMBERS.
SENTENCED TO DEATH. AN ACTIVE PLOT. (Press Association—Copyright* (Received 7.25 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 15.—The “Morning Post’s” Vienna correspondent reports that two Hungarian bomb throwers were sentenced to death and four to hard labour for terms varying from 5 to 10 years in connection with murders in 1922 and 1923. The prisoners were clerks, their ages ranging from IS to 30, and were members of the Union of Awaking Magyars. They committed a bomb outrage in the Elizabeth Club, in which eight persons were killed and 33 wounded, and also placed infernal machines in other places, claiming that they were supporting the Government against its Communist enemies, and evidently believing the Government would be afraid to prosecute them. During the trial friends of the accused men sent numerous threatening letters to the judges and others, but the court refused to be terrorised.— (A. and N.Z.)
