of Heav-shan to appoint an Officer
in command
of a party of police who should assist in making diligent search in the locality known as
Ja chi-tow in the Heav-shan District, and not to permit the escape
of the Criminal.
In addition to this, as the documents annexed to my instructions stated the locality as being on the border of the Heav-shan and Sin-hwei Districts, so that success
could not be expected
unless both intelligent
and experienced,
an Officer practiced in the pursuit of Criminals, and well acquainted with the locality,
was appointed for the service in question,
I wrote to the Military Authorities to appoint Captain Chiang-yun pas, of the Chiang-min station, to co-operate with the Officer Hsieh.
