Galilee Commissioner Killed Coming Out of Church SPECIAL ro-rule "XC"
Jerusalem, Sept. 27.
Mr. Lewis Yellend Andrews, District Commissioner of Galilee, and British constable, Mr. McEwan, were killed at Nazareth yesterday by armed Arabs. Both were shot while leaving the Anglican Church. Their assailants are described as two Arabs dressed in European clothes and tarbusches and one in peasant dress.
'Mr, Andrews had been "number one on the terrorists' black list for many months owing to the strictness of his rule, and his life had been frequently threatened recently. This accounted for the presence of a bodyguard at the church, of which ihe other victim was a member.
So far 108 arrests, including many Arab notables, have been made in connection with the assassinations.
Considerable apprehension is felt among the Arabs in Nazareth in regard to the measures the Government is taking. More arrests are expected.
The majority of the shops are closed and a detachment of British troops have arrived in Nazareth.
Police dogs to-day lost their trail of the murderers at the Moslem cemetery, close to the scene of the crimes.—Reuter.
