"THEY WANT TO KILL ME, $30."
ECHO OF A SORDID TRAGEDY.
IS IT INSANITY?
Fung Yan, a tobacco cutter, was |brought before Mr. Justice Wood at the Criminal Sessions this morning, charged with the mur- der of Tain Chap, on April 28.
Mr. Somerset Fitzroy, outlining the case for the Crown, said that express matice was not alleged, but implied malice might be a around for the action.
It appeared that Tam Chap added counsel, was in a bath room on the second floor of 345, Queen's Road, when he was suddenly mur- derously attacked by the accused. Accused came in from the kitchen bearing a chopper, which wit nesses would prove had been taken from the cook's rack. There were two blows on the head and one in | the back.

Emergency Campaign. In connection with Mr. Lloyd George's offer of Liberal support of the Government in an emer- gency campaign against employment, it is stated that Mr. MacDonald, while anxious to get. whatever co-operation is avail- able, firmly maintains the attitude that the executive responsibility must remain with the Govern- ment. There is good reason te believe that he does not regard with favour the proposal that the Opposition should have access to the Civil Service and, presum- ably, official data on the question at issue.-Reuter.

London, Yesterday. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, presió--| ing at the Guildhall conference, attended by a number of Cabinet Ministers and various local au-

He seemed to have been dwelling on the fact that he the duration of the case in pro-thorities, summoned by the Prime was going to be discharged. As a cess of being heard. matter of fact, so far as evidence went, he was merely being rémov-. ed to Macao. But during the struggle he said that he "wanted to get at the old man," by which was understood that he meant his employer.
A Case of Insanity? Mr. Fitzroy added that the question of the man's mental condition might arise. He under- stood that the accused had been under the observation of Dr. Thomas, who would be called to
