16 CunnibuIs Get
Death Sentences

PORT MoREsBY, New Gui-

today sentenced 16 cannibals
to death for numbering a viii
lager in a wife-hunting and
food-gathering raid last year.
The judge added, however, that
he did not want to. see them
hang and would recommend
mercy.
Witnesses testified the cani-
bal band, with highly developed
teamwork and generalship,
raided the village of Suwana
in January, 1859, killed three
men and kidnapped eight
women.
The judge, in pronouncing
sentence, said:
"I would like to see you stay
in jail and learn about ad-
ministration and law. For eat
ing flesh is a very bad thing.
Some people eat people because
they are pigs. Man should be
something better than a pig"
