PERSECUTION OF THE Gypsy

Cannbas.

The persecution of Gypsies recalls
the old belief that the Gypsies were
cannibals, and the methods by which
judicial confirmation of the belief was
sometimes obtained In 172S As Hun
garian Gypsies were executed on
this charge. First racked until
they confessed to murder. they were
taken to the place where their victims
were supposed to- be buried and rack
ed again. No bodies were discovered.
Therefore they confessed to eating
them, and were duly executed. Joseph
II. sent commission down to inves-
tigate the case later. and the entire
innocence Of the Gypsies was proved,
but history does not say what hap
pened to the witnesses for the prose.

Probable interest In Trial.

Although both parties to the killing
were persons In obscure life, there is
reason to believe that trial of the
case will be attended by the usual
interest that such a court proceed
ing attracts, buoyed up by the fact
that in the event Of a conviction the
jury may fix the penalty at death.
The state Is anxious for trial. At
torney for Roland, in talking to q
reporter, declared he would not enter
plea Of guilty even to murder in the
second degree. This would give Ro
land a life sentence. He does admit
however, that he would enter plea
Of guilty to manslaughter, which
would bring sentence from court OF
what would be only short peniten
tiary term for d man of Roland's
years.
