Dzung Woo-tuh appeared before Messrs. Whitamore and Li at the Mixed Court on Monday morning charged with~ attempting to murder Li Dzang-diau, a Chinese police constable in the employ of the Shanghai Municipal Council, while the latter was in the execution of his duty in Range Road at 8.90 p.m. on Saturday.
Det.-Insp. Conduit, for the Police, stated that the Chinese constable was on plain clothes duty on Saturday night when he saw five men walking in a very suspicious manner. Holding them under observation, he noticed that one of the men handed to another what appeared to him, and what later proved to be, an automatic pistol. The men then separated, and the Chinese constable followed the man who hac the pistol in his possession. Suddenly the policeman tackled the armed man, who drew the pistol from his waist. After a struggle, the man -R. 1 pointed the pistol at the policeman, who managed to force it aside. As a result the shot went wide into the air and the man was finally arrested. A statement which the man made at the station implicated several other men, who were arrested in Chapei.
-The men now appeared with the first man in dock, and they were charged with being members of an organized gang of armed robbers operating in the Settlement who were a menace to public peace and good order. The case was remanded.
