TERRIBLE END OF LADY

MISSIONARIES.

COLD-BLOODED BRUTALITY PRIOR

TO EXECUTION.

GO-BETWEEN'S STORY.

Having been terrorised day after day with hints of an impending horrible doom, Miss Edith Nettleton and Miss Eleanor Harrison were brutally beheaded, not shot, by their Fukien bandit captors. The facts are revealed by Mr, A, J. J. Martin, British Consul, and the Rev. Sills, of the Church Missionary Society, in an account of their experiences in the interior, Recking the release of the ladies.

❤

The go-between employed graphically describes an un- pleasant experiènce in the Communist lair. He was compelled to watch a farcical trial, at the end of which four Chinese were murdered, Miss Harrison being present the whole time.

The murder of the British ladies appears to have been hastily decided upon, following an attack by a rival party of bandits..
