LEGAL PROCEDURE AGAINST ASSASSIN.' The Osaka Malink notes that the preli minary search for evidence connected with the|dolences,—N, D, G. News, assassination is progressing, and it is expected that the accomplicer or instigators of the crime will be arrested before long. When sufficient evidence has been collected, the preliminary examination of the prisoner will be opened in the Kwantung District Court. The judges and Procurators will not adopt any prejudiced measures of violence or intimidation against bim, and the case will be fairly and impartially decided. If the prisoner is unable to engage a lawyer, a barrister will be appointed by the Court for his defence. The charge against the prisoner being a flagrant offence, the assassin is liable to the death penalty according to Ar ticle 199 of the Criminal Cada. The accom- plices in the crime will be treated on the sama level as the principal culprit, according to cir- cumstances and, conclades our contemporary, it is possible that many of them will also be condemned to death.
