of August 16th, reporting that we were surrendering

ourselves to the Hong Kong Government.

We also posted to

to the "Ta Kung Pao"

and five other newspapers as well

as to Reuter and two other news agencies, requesting them

to publish what had happened in connection with this case,

or if it could not be done to publish same as advertisement.

Fees for the advertisement were enclosed in the letters.

After doing all the above things, we have been

anticipating that the letters containing our confessions

would be widely published. Unexpectedly two days have

elapsed and there is still nothing doing. We are much

surprised. We think that upon receipt of the letters

containing our confessions, the various parties concerned

must have half-doubted and half-believed (our statement)

and might even have thought that we were not the men

responsible for the firing of the shots which killed the

Chinese traitor Ching Sik-kang on that very day.

In addition to the above statement of our

experiences in connection with the killing of Ching, we

want to advance the following facts in order to remove all

doubts so as to prove that actually we, the two men at

present making confessions to the Hong Kong Government,

are the killers of Ching and that the four Chinese brethren

against whom the enemy has insisted on the reliance of

manufactured false evidence, were in no way concerned in

the affair:-

The revolver which was left behind in the theatre

on that very day was the weapon with which Chuk Chung-leung,

the No. 1 Maker of these Confessions, pointed at Traitor

Ching's head and fired 4 shots in succession and with which

he aimed and fired two shots at the middle of the body of

the +White Russian afterwards wounded but not killed.
