MADE HUMAN SACRIFICE
 TO APPEASE RAIN GOD
savages fin Rhodesia. Suffering From Drought, Burn Young Man as
 Offering.

Salsburg, Southern Rhodesia, June 5.-That human sacrifice is still prac- ticed in some parts of the old world was shown recently when six mem bers of a local tribe were sentenced to death for burning alive a young man named Manduza in order to ap- pease the rain goddess.
 Rhodesia had been suffering from A severe drought and some Of the na- tive tribes ascribed it to the wrath or the. goddess who they believed had been violated. The chief of the tribes conducted inquiries which led them to believe that his son Manduza was guilty of assailing the virtue of the goddess. The rain goddess, young and handsome girl, was produced III court but did not give evidence.
 Counsel for the defense commented on the high motives which led the chief to sacrifice his own son for rain in order to save his people, and re- terred to cases in Hebraic and sem itic history. It is noteworthy that the natives are firmly convinced in the efficacy in human sacrifice especially as rain fell soon after Manduza was burned alive.

 The statutes were held to infringe upon the personal liberty of the peo- ple of this country as guaranteed by the Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution. which provides: NO State-shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law"
 It is good to have this amend ment brought to the attention, not Of the people, for the people know IL well and grow angered as they see it's meaning being smoth cred deeper and deeper beneath so-called law" but rather to the attention of law makers.
