Tientsin, June 23.
Two foreigners seeking admission to the Concessions this morning reported that they saw the body of a Chinese, of the coolie class, hanging on the live wires about 500 yards to the south of the Shansi Road entrance, on the new road skirting the Concessions. The colour of the corpse they described as greenish yellow. This is the first authentic case of an electrocution of a human being since the blockade began.
