Kaifeng Murder Recalled
(SPECIAL TO “CHINA MAIL")
Berlin, To-day.
Under the e heading "Still no expiation of the murder of the lecturer Dillenz in Kaifeng," the
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung” recalls that in May, 1936, the German lecturer at the Honan University in Kaifeng, Herr Al- fred Dillenz, was murdered, the crime arousing a good deal of feeling in Germany.
The paper says that "In October last year a-ricksha coolie was sen- tenced to twelve years' imprison- ment and deprivation of civil rights for eight years for complicity in the murder, but full expiation for the crime has not yet been made.
"It is much to be regretted that in an investigation of this case, difficulties are constantly being
raised.
"It is time the
competent-
Chinese authorities did everything to bring about complete clarifica- tion of the circumstances rounding the murder and took steps to punish those guilty."
