Special from United Press.)

LOnQOn, July 2-Ihe Sudden Sh1rtlnS of the violent spirit of unrest, which has long been seething in India, to England, evidenced by the assassina- tion last evening of Lieutenant Colonel William Curzon Wyllie by Nadar Lal Dhingras, Indian student, has
 aroused the indignation of the Foreign
 Office and the official force of the of
 flee has been guarded closely. It is
 believed the killing of Lieutenant Col
 Onel Wyllie is but the beginning of an
 extensive plot and attempts against
 other officials are feared. Lord More
 ly, the Secretary of State for Indian
 affairs, is being especially guarded as
 he is deemed to be in the gravest dan
 ger.
 Despite the refusal of Dhingras to
 answer any questions put to him by
 the police, discoveries made, when of
 ficers searched his lodging, have led to
 the taking of the greatest precautions.
 Papers found in the room show that
 Dhingras, who is a Parsee student 20 years old, attended the gathering at the Imperial Institute for the express knew would be present The time was particularly we'll chosen for the meet ing for the purpose of drawing the native Indian and the English peo- ples nearer together in endeavoring to patch up the fatal breach which the government has seen growing for many years. An audience of 200 was pres ent, among them many Hindu students at Cambridge and Oxford and a score of distinguished Hindu visitors to Eng land Among the latter was Sir Caivas Lalcaca who was killed by a stray shot when Dhingras emgtied his revolver at Willie. -7.E7
 The entire setting of the room was Oriental and Indian costumes were worn by many of the guests. The as- sassin himself was in English dress,
 AI,f r,xak Wyllie at the conclusion of the meeting as the latter was leaving the hall, and without a, word drew a revolver. fir ing five shots into the skull of the over Wyllie's head, as he fell, struck pr. Lalcaca in the breast. Wyllie was dead before the excited men and women could reach his side and the Parsee doctor died before he reached a hospital.
 As Wyllie fell his wife walked into the room looking for him. Seeing the man lying on the floor she asked if she could do anything, and upon rec ognizing her husband she swooned. Dhingras, as his victim fell, pressed the revolver to his own temple but he had emptied the weapon. In mo ment he was overpowered and secured. A second revolver, a dagger and a knife were found in the students pos- session as well as certain closely writ ten papers, the contents of which the police have refused to divulge. These, it is understood, fix the motive for the crime as a political one.
 Wyllie was one of the most promi- nent Indian officials of the past dec ade. He had spent practically all of his life in Indian civil and military service and at the time of his assas- sinatfon was aide-de-camp to Lord Indian secretary. Wyllie had served as resident governor at Nipat, governor generals agent at Rajputka n Gen. tral India.
 Dr. Lalcaca, who was also killed by Wyllie's assassin, was pract1clng physician at Shanghai. The police are every effort to elicit from Dhingras the entire plot which they | suspect is under way, looking toward | the wholesale assassination of Indian | officials. But he steadily refuses to divulge anything and Scotland Yard is l busy on other features of the case.
 Despite the precautions of the police | 1t became known today that Nadar Ial Dhingras succeeded in slightly injur- ing Sir Leslie Probyn, another prom1- nent Indian ex-officia1, in the scuffle | following the killing of Willie. The Indian succeeded in drawing his dag ger before he was overpowered.
 Friends of Sir Leslie hurried1y re- moved him, taking the utmost precau- ton to conceal the fact that he was wounded. The police in the course of | their investigation have uncovered 'acts which lead them to believe that Dhingras, who is a medical student rom Madras, came to London from Paris at the instigation of a. revolu- .icnary society in the French capi- al.
 The preliminary trial of Dhingras las been set for September 1.
 When arraigned in Westminster po- ire court charged with wilful murder, 0hingras appeared quite indifferent to he proceedings. Dhingras said la CT. however, that he had no idea of hooting Dr. Lalcaca, but did it only liter the latter advanced toward him.
 seWhen he grabbed hold of me fired n self-defense," he said. Dhingras vas remanded to jail pending his ar
