Ate Heart Of Assassin,

A correspondent of the North China
Daily News describes what followed
the execution Of an assassin: when
the heart of Hsu Hsi-lin was cut out
of his body and had been laid before
the remains of his victim as sacri.
flee to the late governors names,
members of his bodyguard, to signify
their zeal and hatred of the assassin,
seized Hsus still warm heart and
cutting it up into mince meat boiled
it and served the grewsome dish
among themselves to be eaten. This
seems poor way Of revenging the
death Of one patron, especially since
1t was due to the very ineptitude and
subsequent panic Of this very brave
bodyguard that enabled Hsu Hsi-lin
to fire 80 many shots. without any
kind OF hindrance, at the late En-
Min"
