From Rodney Gilbert, Canton, April 11.
The murder of General Teng Hong, Chief of Staff to General Chen Chiung-ming, commander of the 1st Cantonese Army Division, and the most competent military adviser to Dr. Sun Yat-sen, is no Jonger news, but is still a matter of as intense interest here as it was in the North when first announced.
The crime was certainly of a political character, but at the first it was nob so certain what political "cause" had inspired it, and it is this matter of fixing the responsibility for the assassination of such an important political figure which has sustained interest.
General Teng Hong went to Hongkong to meet Dr. C. C. Wu upon his reten from Mukden and _together they came to Canton by the railway. General Teng, having less baggage than Dr. Wu, left the railway tation first and was shot by one of three men- who were waiting for him before he could draw his revolver and before the four soldiers who were on his motor ear could make any move to protect him. he three men all escaped.
