10 SEPTEMBER 1910, Page 2

On Thursday week the Bengal conspiracy trial at Dacca was

the occasion of an attempt to assassinate a police officer. Inspector Ghose, of the Criminal Investigation Department., who has appeared prominently in the trial and has been active in tracing members of the Anushilan Samiti, was shot at by two youths when on his way home from the Court. Three bullets struck him, but none in a vital part, and he is said to be doing well in hospital. Both the assailants were arrested. The Times correspondent says that they had actually been under surveillance, and that their youth leaves little doubt that, as in most cases of this sort, they were prompted by older and more cautious persona who remain in the background.
