CONV|CTSFORM
A SOCIETY FOR
SLAYINGPLOTS
Inmates of South African Mines
Declared to Have Inaugurated
Government of Their Own.
Special Gable 70 The American.

KIMBERLEY. SOUTH AFRICA,
Oct. IA sensational story of a ma
tive convicts' secret society, the facts
as to which are well known to South
Africa and police authorities, has
been unfolded in the course of a MUIR
der trial here
Five native convicts were indicted
for the murder of a fellow convict,
named Jacob Mkaba, at Dutoitspan
convict station. The story for the
Crown was that Jacob had decided to
withdraw from the "Ninevite Socie-
ty" abdicating the craftsmanship, and
had persuaded others to withdraw
also.
For this and for the fact that he
was supposed to have carried tales to
the station superintendent he was
sentenced to death. He resisted en-
deavoTs to get him into certain cell,
but eventually went, and was set
upon and stabbed to death.
One of the accused was the So
ciety's doctor another a Judge" a
third succeeded Jacob as chief, the
fourth belonged to an opposing fac
ton known as The Scotchmen," and
the fifth was neutral.
The Ninevites are a native convict
secret society. The evidence showed
that they have their. own king, chief
general, judges, doctor, and other Of
ficers, and hold secret courts, SEN
tence fellow convicts to death and
issue the orders for the execution of
their sentences.
Judge LANCE said that the Nine
vites originated in Pretoria convict
prison, and we're represented all over
the country A native witness said
that nearly all the conviCts in Jo-
hannesburg were Ninevites The de-
ceased had been chief of the society.
Secret prison meetings decided on the
stabbings, and those appointed to ex-
eCute orders were liable to punish
ment if they failed. This witness
said the rule was Once a Ninevite,
always a Ninevite.''
Jacobs death warrant was ''ver-
bally signed" and it was ordained
that, should the knife not be forth
coming, he should be killed while
working on the DeBeers floors.
Superintendent Dyason said the
NineviteS caused immense trouble in
the stations, and, although watched
continually, held meetings, and re-
ported to their king. The head of the
society was in Pretoria, and was rec
ognized throughout the Union pris-
| onS. JACOBS fellow conYicts had re-
Gently called him a detective to watch
and protect Jacob. Witness added
that the lives of the witnesses in the
present case would certainly be en-
dangered after the proceedings.
One Of the accused admitted stab
bling the deceased under orders from
Pretoria" because it was thought that
it was through him that two convicts
| had been shot at the Cinderella pris-
on. If he (witness) had not killed
Jacob, he would undoubtedly have
been killed himself. He did it in
self defense"
Four Of the accused were sentenced
to death by Judge LANCE.

MORN Of TRIAL
BETROTHALS' IN
ENGLAND DANNS
Fifty Engagements Of Society Folk
Broken in Ninety Days,
Mostly by Fiancees,
Special Cable to The American.


LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE fall season
of 1913 will be notable for the num-
Der of engagements to marry which
have been broken off, some of them
after the date of the wedding had
been announced.
This week there are no less than
eight limitations that marriages
which had been arranged would not
take place. In one instance, the an
nouncement was made only a week
before the day of the ceremony. This
was the case of William Fraser. OF
the Gordon Highlanders, son of Lord
and Lady Saltoun, and Miss Yvonne
Palmer, youngest daughter of the
late Sir Edwin and Lady Palmer.
At least so engagements between
well-known society people have been
Cancelled during the last three months,
in nearly every instance the lady
being the party to withdraw at the
last moment.
Commenting on this peculiar state
of affairs, one wTiter says; 1T her
aids the dawn of a better day the
day when engagements will be made
to be broken. Since trial marriages
are impossible, trial engagements are
d necessity.
Society never would have recog-
nized the necessity If 1t had not been
for what is called the woman's move
ment. The soul of woman has awak-
ened and refuses to be sacrificed to
the greed and stupidity of parents
any longer"

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 11.-Ananias
was a man OF truth and honor in
comparison with some OF Duval Coun-
tvs merchants, according to the Board
of County Commissioners, who declare
that for years these business men
have been in the habit Of perjuring
themselves in giving assessments on
their stocks
From now on merchants who nlrt
with the truth in giving assessments
viii be vigorously prosecuted for per-
jury, according to an ultimatum Of
the Commissioners. made at a special
meeting called for the purpose of ap-
proving the tax books for the year,
which show an increase of about So
100000 over those OF last year.
That the perjury habit is far
reaching Is indicated by the state
ment OF License Inspector W. M.
Dudley who said:
"In numerous instances men who
carry stock amounting to $4,000 have
given In their assessments at 81 .0oo.
The Commissioners seriously con-
sidered the publication of names OF
merchants who were suspected OF
having perjured themselves. but sub
sequently decided to give them a
chance to make good.

contract calls for the completion
