Tokyo, Nov. 6.
The alleged execution at Amoy yesterday of the famous Formosan sing-song girl Ah Ben is featured in all the newspapers this morning.
The girl, it is stated, was arrested some days ago and, after a very strict examination, was found guilty of being a Japanese spy and condemned to death.
Just before the execution Ah Ben, attired in a black silk coatee, silver-grey trousers and patent leather shoes, asked for a cigarette as a last request, After finishing her smoke, she nonchalantly faced the firing squad and fell pierced by seven bullets.—Reuter.
