A.).—Public opinion in South Africa is greatly stirred over the verdict of a Jewish judge in the case of a farmer who flogged to death a native. Judge Saul Solomon sentenced the farmer, Jack Nafte, a Jew, to ten years imprison ment at hard labor and ten lashes. Important political developments may be the result of the case. It is said to be the first case when a white man in South Africa received so strin gent a sentence for the killing of a native. The nationalist press violently attacks Judge Solomon, accusing him of being a negro-phile. A review of the case was ordered by the Minister of Justice because lashes were never before ordered for a white prisoner. At the order of General Hertzog, the lashing was postponed, pending the review. FRED R. LINDORME AUTO PAINTING ALL REPAIRS EXCEPT ENGINE WORK 986-1012 Stewart Ave., S. W.
