Show Former Govenor of Johannesburg on Trial for High Treason. Dr. Krause, the former governor of Johannesburg, who was arrested September Sep-tember 2d on the charge of high treason, trea-son, was arraigned in the extradition cdurt at London Tuesday and charged with high treason and incitement to murder. The former charge is connected con-nected with the surrender of Johannesburg, Johannes-burg, when, according to the public prosecutor, Dr. Krause obtained from Lord Roberts twenty-four hours' armistice arm-istice on the plea that street fighting would thereby be obviated, and utilized the period in getting all the Boer fighters fight-ers out of town and in sending 1S0,000 to Pretoria. After Dr. Krause had been paroled he went to Europe and applied to Dr. Leyds, the agent of the Transvaal, for money on account of these services. |
