Colonel Sir William HUT Curzon wyllie and Dr.
Canvas Lalcaca, was to-day committed for triai
at the Old Bailey for murder
The police court proceedings lasted the whole
day, but little new evidence was elected. The
prosecution placed before the court documents
containing the prisoners handwriting which
seem to show conclusively that the crime was
long premeditated and IN revenge for alleged
wrongs 10 India. The prisoner in a brief state
ment. said.
I do not wish TO say anything in defence of
myself but simply TO prove the justice of nv
deed As for myself. l DO not think thar an
English law court has any authority to arrest

patriotic for Englishmen to fight against tha
Germans, If they occupy this country then il is
much more Justitiable and more patriotic in nv
casf to fight against the English I hold that
the English people are responsible for the nur-
der of eighty million Of my countrvrnsn 1,,ri,.
the last nifty years. and that they are also re

also hold that they are responsible for the
hanging and deportation Of my patriotic coun-

advising their countrymen TO do. If the Ger
