MR. SHAW BACK IN ANTUNG — FOUR MONTHS IMPRISONED — WITHOUT TRIAL From Our Own Correspondent

Harbin, Dec. 5.

Though released several days previously Mr. G. L. Shaw did not return to his home at Antung until November 19. The reason for his remaining at Seoul was. that he insisted that the Japanese Government should first give him some document to show that they had no objection to his leaving Korea for his Mianchurian residence. 'Such a precaution was necessary for there have been cases in which persons, who have been imprisoned and' afterwards re-Ieased on bail, have left the country and immediately upon their doing so their trial has taken place, and in their absence their bail has been estreated and they condemned tp various terms of imprisonment should they return to the country.
