Ten Robbers In Custody
Tientsin, March 21, The B.M.C. Police have now effected ten arrests in connection with the armed robbery case at a village south of the ex-Germai Concession which was followed by the shooting of a police constable on the British Bund on Tuesday night. Unfortunately the gallant con- stable who was shot, C.P.C. 278 (Han Yuen-chai), died in hospital at 7.45 on Wednesday evening from hie wound. He had been shot through the abdomen, the bullet tearing the Liver. He was about thirty years of age, a married man with two chil- dren, and was one of the most pro mising constables in the force la which he had served for two yours. Before his death he was promoted Corporal for his distinguished con- duct on Tuesday night.
In addition to making the ten arreste, the Police found in a house in the notorious Leo Bi-Kai district a "second" Mauser pistol and also a Browning pistol and a quantity of ammunition. The smartness of the work of the police is amply demon- strated by the fact that by 8 am. on Wednesday seven men had been arrested while the whole ten mem bers of the gang won
