According to the Chinese Press, the victim in the above case was young Chinese of 29, named Jen Kung-fu, a native of Yishing, Kiangsu. He was employed at the Hengchi Pawnshop of Boone Road. He was sent out that day to cash over $400 worth of notes at some banks on The Bund. Having got the cash, he was on his way back in a ricsha when, upon reaching the neighbourhood of the General Hospital on Tiendong Road, he was set upon by several robbers and received three shots, two of which passed right through his stomach, coming out at his back while one shattered his face. He dropped dead almost immediately. The dol-tars and an overcoat of the murdered man were snatched from him by the robbers who then decamped. The body was conveyed to the morruary pending an inquiry by the authorities. The pawnshop sent an employee to identify the victim as soon as the news of the murder became known. A pearl ring and the clothes worn by the deceased established his identity without a itary doubt.
