Tentative funeral arrangements were made yesterday, the date for the burial being set for 9 am. on Wednesday at the Pahsienjao Cemetery with the cortege leaving the home of deceased at 56 Rue Massenet subject to the necessary permission being obtained from the French Consular authorities. The arrangements are subject to change.
Deceased, the oldest practising French lawyer here and editor-publisher of "Extrême Orient" a bilingual, French-English monthly journal devoted among other things to art and curios, was mortally wounded almost on the threshold of his office. Two Chinese in foreign attire fired three shots at his back while he was ascending the stairs and before he had even reached the first floor landing. They then made a dash for liberty and escaped along Rue Laguerre.
