London, July 3-Political London is
in fever of unrest lest events prove
the daring murder Thursday of Lieut..
Col. Sir William HUT Curzon Wyllie
by an Indian fanatic at public recep-
ton prove to have been but the in
auguration of campaign along Rus
sion terrorist lines by the knot of dis
affected Indian political agitators and
students known to have secret head
quarters and a close secret organization
in this city.
With Madar Lalof Dhinagri, Sir
Williams Slayer, preserving the atti-
tude of a willing martyr to a sacred
cause and with documents in the hands
of the police said to prove conclusively
that the murder had been dictated by
a political clique. Scotland Yard has
thrown a Gordon of secret guards about
every high official in the Indian service
to prevent second outrage, of which
/ the government seems to be in dire
| fear
Lord Morley Long Under Guard.
1t became known today that for
weeks past Scotland Yard has been
working on secret information that a
plot against those prominent in Indian
affairs was on foot. Lord Morley Sec
rotary of state for India, has himself
been under close police guard for a
long time, and even when he has left
London for the country he has been at
tended by detectives.
| The police have been tireless In in
vestigating the movements and ante
cedents of a number of Indian students
in London whose names were furnished
| them with news of the plot, and it
seems probable that the murder of Sir
| William Wyllie will lead to immediate
deportation or arrests in a number of
cases.
Assassin Expresses No Regret.
Dhinagri, the slayer was arraigned in
Westminster police court Friday morn
ing and remanded for one week after
being formally charged with willful
murder. In the dock the prisoner APP
peared quite unconcerned He stood
with his hands in his pockets, and when
asked if he cared to say anything
shook his head. Later, however, he ex-
pressed regret that he had killed DIR.
Lalcaca, who was struck by his sixth
shot.

dead"
That was all. There was no word Of
sorrow at the death of his chosen
victim, no hint of horror that he had
killed two men. He was sorry only that
the man who got in his way was dead.
not that he had killed him.
Police Fear More Murders.
| 1t is this stoical attitude of Dhnagri,
the authorities that if he is executed
the Indian will go to the scaffold with
the self-satisfied fatalism of the fan
cied martyr, that lead the police to fear
that in the remaining Indian plotters
they may have most dangerous
enemy with whom 7ctoe contend. The
orientaps Indifference to death and in
domitable courage inlpnrsuit of an
enemy are we'll known. and as plotters
they are unusually adept.
Satisfied that the murder of Sir Will
liam was entirely political, the police
| fear that the chosen slayers of any
more officials who may be marked for
death will proceed in the same daring,
spectacular manner TO carry out the
sentences of their victims.
The situation is declared to be I'M
usually grave Alt England is in a
sullen and angry mood over the muir
der of a man who had won honor and
fame as tireless worker for the good
of India. The student organization is
declared to have bitten the hand that
fed it, as Sir William was recognized
as a firm friend of. India and, in his
position as political aide de camp to
Lord Morley, as one who had great
power to do her good.
The murder, in fact, has stirred Eng
land in a manner unknown since the
Phoenix Park murders.
British Security Sadly Shaken.
1t has been a subject for self-con-
graduation by l1nglishmen that Great
Britain was immune from political
crimes of this nature, and it is a great
shock to feel that public men no long
er are safe from the attacks of assas-
sins. Great sympathy is felt for Lord
Morley, the difficulties of whose posi-
ton will be greatly increased by the
murder. A strong feeling has beer
aroused against number of the mem
bers of the house Of commons anG
others who have onco1Ira ged the India r
agitators against the government.
Another consequence of the tragedy
distasteful to Englishmen is thai
henceforth it will be necessary to af.
