abroad that has manned the bull

There is our example! Labor

Seven Eskimos Face
Canadian Court for
Staying Nine Others
Deoths BIomed on
Religious Dispute
Among Tribesmen

BY the Associated Press.
BELCHER ISLANDS, Hudson Bay,
Canada, Aug. 20.-One of the weird
est stories to come out OF the frozen
North was unfolding today before q
white mans court hearing murder
charges against seven Eskimos ac-
cused of putting nine others to death
in dispute over whether Christ had
come to earth again.
Some of the nine died of gunshot
wounds, some of beatings and the
rest-four of them children-were
sent naked into the wind whipped
snow last winter to perish OF cold.
Preliminary testimony was taken
Yesterday from some of the accused.
their relatives and tribesmen.
Hold Court In Tent.
They spoke through interpreters
in tent which served as the court
house for the judicial party headed
by Justice C. P. Plaxton of the On
tario Supreme Court-s party which
took 13 days for the long trip north.
The story they told was one of long
arguments over claims of two tribes
men to divine power, of beliefs that
Satan was driven from the tribe by
the deaths, and Of the burning OF
religious books deemed no longer
needed II Christ walked again
among men.
Peter Sala and Charlie Ouyerack,
whose claims to divine power were
said to have figured in the fierce
arguments. were among the accused.
Sala said he believed he was God
in thoughts. but not in body.
Ouyerack said another Eskimo told
him he was Jesus Christ and thus
he became convinced that he was.
Murder Cases Rare.
The Eskimos normally are peace
loving. Seldom has a member OF
any of the tribes been executed for
violation of the white mans law. A
verdict OF guilty makes the death
sentence mandatory. However. such
a sentence can be commuted by the
Governor General on the advice OF
the Department Of Justice
One of the first cases taken up
here was the death of 15-year-old
Sarah Apawkok Her brother, Alec
Apawkok, was charged with club
bing her to death with rife carried
by q tribeswoman named Akeenik,
also accused.
One witness told the court yester-
day the girl was killed because she
refused to believe Ssla was divine.
Another testified she was struck be-
cause she failed to do her work in
the tribes winter camp.
An Eskimo woman testified the
other Eskimos were pleased when
Sarah was dead--that they believed
Satan had been driven from their
camp.
