Chinese Given Suspended Sentence The Chinese youth who on September 20 tried to end his own life and those of two Japanese subjects by dragging them into the Whangpoo to show his hatred against the Japanese because all members of his family died during the Shanghai hostilities was sentenced to two years' imprisonment yesterday by the First Special District Court, but he can be exempted from serving the prison term should his character prove to be good during a six-month confinement in the reformatory, the judge having shown leniency.
The lad, Feng Chieh-yung, lost all members of his family including his parents and property in Hongkew and could barely manage to escape with his own life. Suffering an agony in the heart, the youth went to the Bund end after pushing two Japanese standing near a pontoon into the river he jumped into the water himself. They were all picked up, however. He was placed under arrest and charged in court with attempted murder.
