Yesterday a shocking murder was' committed "in a Japanes> restaurant in a basement close to the American Consulate. The Japanese owner and his wife had closed in the early morning and gone to bed when their geisha servant heard terrible moans proceeding from their room. Forcing the door open she found her mistress stabbed to death and her master lying in a pool of blood on the floor. "All valuables had been stolen and it is supposed that the Chinese boy had either carried out the deed himself or been an accomplice to it. The police are securing the city for him" and will probably find him. The owner is too seriously injured to live.
