There are three theories of this premeditated crime; and that it was planned is without question, for both roads beyond the intersection were dug up s0 that no cars could pass. One theory is that students hired ruffians from Chapei in a spirit of revenge; another that friends of one of the dead students wanted blood for blood, though in this instance it would seem that they would try to shoot a police ofticer—it will be remembered that this failed, however, in the Thibet Road shooting. The last theory is that some of the Chapei Volunteer roughs committed the crime in eivilian short coats. Police in many instancog have seen their drab trousers under long coats. Further evidence may be seen in the report of an informant. About a month ago he stopped his car on Warren Road between Hungjao and Brenan Roi Five of these volunteers in full uniform and with rifles, stepped along side the machine and flashed their lights onto the occupants, but they left when they saw who was inside.
