MURDERERS HANGED


NAIROBI (Reuters) -- Five Nandi tribesmen, convicted ringleaders of the vicious Carlyle expedition massacre, were executed this morning after a short, expertly-conducted trial.


To the end, the tribesmen steadfastly refused to reveal where they had hidden the white leaders of the expedition. Mr. Harvis, acting for the colony, cleverly implied throughout the trial that the massacre was racial in motivation, and that the fair-skinned victims were taken to a secret location, there to suffer the most savage treatment.

Miss Erica Carlyle, defeated in her efforts to rescuer her brother, left several weeks ago, but is surely comforted now by the triumph of justice.
