Lutheran Synodical Conference, if l put the question again Who killed Wong Fong?" These people called Wong Fong, the Chinaman, their brother in Jesus Christ They do not care for the punishment of the murderer, but they wish to see the boys name absolutely clear from the imputation made by Mrs. Wong Fi and Mir and Mrs Wong Els lawyers that he committed suicide. They think the case of Wong Fong ought to have the same attention by the police as a case would receive when a white boy or a white girl would have been killed in the quarters of some Chinatown. Yours truly,

WHO KILLED
 WONG F0NC?
An Inquiry Made in the Name of Thousands of Members of the Lutheran Church Concerning Death of Chinaman

The Lutheran church is interested in an inquiry into the circumstances of the death of Wong Fong, who was killed here a few weeks ago. The corOner's jury believed that a murder had been committed. It was suspected that Mrs. Wong Fi or her husband could throw some light on the tragedy though the woman de- clared that Wong Fong had died of his own hand. The following com munication with reference to the death of Wong Fong, has been re- ceived from Superintendent I. F. c. Flanders of Lutheran missions:
 To the Editor of The Arizona Re- publican, Phoenix, Arizona.
 DEAR SIR-The question of Who Killed Wong Fong?" has appeared in your paper several times Please allow me to put up this question once more.
 I wish to make the statement that there are several hundred thousand people in the United States who are anxiously waiting for an answer on this question. These are the people of the great Lutheran Synodical Conference of North America Wong Fong was not an unknown person to them
 About six years ago the first Chin csc Mission school in the named church body was organized at Globe. Ariz. Wong Fong was the first scholar of this school. Wong Fong was baptized and was the first Synodical Conference The story of the Mission school, of Wong Fong's l life, ofs his conversion. of his bap- i tism have been written in detail in the papers of this church body. Two years ago the Synodical Conference started it's first mission in Shang- | hai, China. The conversion of Wong Fong was one of the main motives ! to start this mission. At that time {, was asked to send Wong Fong as helper and interpreter for the first i missionary. Rev. Prof. A. l. Arndt of St. Paul, Minn. I refused to send i Wong Fong. because as I answered, l Wong Fong was a child and would be child all his life
 Since Wong Fong died and his death has been announced in our papers, 1 daily receive letters contain
 ing the question, Who Killed Wong l Fong?"
 Who killed Wong Fong?' I am
 under the impression that there has 1 not been very much done so far to
 answer this question. I believe have good reasons for thinking so As your paper reported at that time Rev. I. Frey of the Lutheran church
 in Phoenix, about four days before 1 Wong Fong died. brought a slip tC
 the police station, written by WonG
 F'ong and addressed to me. l per sonally brought a telegram 10 the
 court house sent to me by Wong
 Fong three days before he died, il
 which he asked for my coming tC
 help him. A person should thinl
 that Rev. Mir Frey as well as mysel
 ought to know or might know some
 thing about Wong Fong. but up tt
 this day nobody has asked us. Whil'
 I was in Phoenix. after I came ther'
 on Wong Fong's telegram, l went t'

 for the boy. I asked there abou Wong Fong's death. but when l tool

 about that which I knew, l was i'm
