Canton, August 8th., 1915.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter en the subject of Chung Min-chau who, you had been informed by His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong, had been decoyed to Canton by an informer named Tong Kwok-wai and being demaunced as a revolutionary had been shot on June 28th. As the Police of Hongkong could get no evidence to show that he was con- -cerned in my revolutionary movement, you requested me to inform you whether the facts were as above stated and to furnish you with an account of the part taken by Wong Kwok-wai in affecting the arrest.
I have the homur to inform you that there was no one named Chung Min-chau among the revolutionaries dealt with by me in June last, and that there is no such person as Wong Kwok-wai among the informers employed in this office.
The troops however did discover and arrest in a
hotel in the Eastern subrub a certain Chung Min-chau, alias Ch'en Kwok ch'iang who falsely took the rank of Commander of the 3rd. Kwangtung Army. There was also discovered a seal of the Commander of the 3rd. Revolutionary Army of Kwangtung of the Republic of China, a commission and a form of oath and so forth. On cross- -examination the mm admitted that he had been appointed by Teng Ch'ion as Commander and had been given a wooden seal, a commissior and a form of oath etc. with the object of establishing an organisation in Canton and creating a disturbance. He had changed his name to Ch'an Kwok-ch'iang in order to deceive others.
The evidence against him being complete, he was shot on June 27th. but his name and the date of his execution differ from the name a Chung Min-chau and the date June 28th.
