JAMESON AsTOUNDED AT THE NEWS.
representative OF The United Press tried TO-
day to obtain an interview from Dr. Jameson,
the leader Of the Inflated raid into the Trans
vaal on the subject of the sentences imposed by
the High Court at Pretoria upon the members OF
Johannesburg Reform Committee. Dr. Jameson
declined 10 discuss the matter beyond saying
that he was astounded by the severity OF the
sentences, which rendered the position very
serious. - -,
Though the news Of the death sentence passed
on the five leaders OF the Johannesburg movement
was a surprise and shock TO those here. VINO nave
watched the case politicians irside ana outsiue o.
parliament admit that the sen,cnce is the natural
complement OF the plea Of guilty. Nobody here
believes that the sentences Will be executed. 1t
is thought that by the law under whch the ac-
cused were tried there was no course open 70 the
court but to impose the death penalty. 1t is De-
ieyed now that the arrangement; between the
prisoners and the Transvaai authorities PROVIDED
