But , the British became interested when Indian officers and soldiers on (;leave from their regiments failed to return. In 1831 a gang was caught red-handed,' and proved the exist- ence of Thugee. The Viceroy began a campaign for their extermination, inviting the native States to co-op- erate. Many willingly responded, but their *aditional attitude was illus- trated, in 1834, when the Rajah of Jodhpore maintained hie right to give them asylum. The- Viceroy ex- plained the ,,danger of providing Thugee with a base of operations against British, territory, and soon forced his cons►nt. In October, 1835, Thugs up to 1,562 were committed for trial, 382 hanged and 986 trans- ported for life to the Andaman Is- lands.

There could not have been many devout Jews in the city, for according to the Rabbinical law wherever ten wise men lived, a synagogue might be' established.

G. Tinkom-Fernandez, in the New York Times. It was derived from the Hindu word, "thag,” meaning a cheat, 'but came to have a more sinister significance front the practices of Hindus and Mohammedans who were proud to -bear the name and who ad- opted as their goddess the blood- thirsty Kali, whose -shrine at •Kali - ghat gave its name to Calcutta. The Thugs were in existence since medi- aeval times and the various princes seemed powerless to suppress them. It was not until Lord William Bentick the Viceroy, appointed Colonel Slee- man to devote himself to their exter- mination. almost a century ago, that they were successfullf,grapplled with. The success of Sleeman is one of the most noteworthy in police and military anals. The Thugs num- bered perhaps hundred�,of thousands when he went. to work, ,Nod before he had .finished thousands'. had been hanged -dr deported to :the Andaman Islands and the others had retired from. business. There are criminals. in India to -day, menwho hold life' cheap, but the old religious order of Thugs has completely disappeared. The organization was a remarkable ' one, for in caste-riden India it was the only society iyhere men of differ- ent religions and castes met.on terms of equality, Jt was a real brother- hood. Its members probably thought that. by offering-buman'sacrifies to, the goddess Keli they were- establish- ing a credit account in Paradise, but- their murders were not committed for material gain. • Tltire ',were no murders without robbery:.There were fro murders of revenge, so far as the records' allow, mid- if one thug, were to murder..'another he would be ert- pelled from the order. Thugs could not .be 'hired to . commit murder,' nor did "-they commit mdrder without re- ligious ceremonies. Murder and rdb- bery were not their sole occupations) When they were not engaged in these pradticea they were model citizens tilling the land, honoring all laws and 'setting an example to their neighbdrs. Apart from-• the great princes they paid more Urea than any other ele- ment in the community because they were wealthier, and they did not Reek to conceal their wealth nor Were they as'hained to acknowledge how it had been acquired. The craft of thugs was hereditary, and had its 'tereret ritual as well as a � sort of slang) which made it possible for Thugs speaking 'different langu- ages to communicate with each other on matters deemed • fort the -t ood l of, the' order.
