TRIPLE MURDER
CHINESE MYSTERY
Chief of Chinese Educational
Mission and Students
Meet Foul Play.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Wash
ington police last night were engaged
in an attempt to solve the mystery
OF the killing of DR.. Wong, chief of
the Chinese educational mission to
the United States, and c. Hise and
Ben Sen WI, students at George
Washington University whose bodies
were found tonight in their home in
the fashionable Mount Pleasant sec
ton. They were last seen alive last
Tuesday.
Absence Of the two students from
the university led a fellow student,
Kong Lie, who lives nearby to in
vestigate tonight. He entered the
house through g window and found
the body of Wong on the first floor.
Police were summoned and the bod
les of the two students were found in
the basement. All three men had
been shot and physicians who exam
ined the bodies said they proba bly,
had been killed Wednesday.
The pistol with which the men
had been shot was found on a chair
near Or. Wong's body. Traces of a
death struggle were in evidence A
heavy brass table lamp lay on the
floor among the shattered remnants
Of the shade and bulk. A chair in
the dining room adjoining was over
turned and a brown cOlOred elastic
from a garter was on the floor.
The bodies Of Hsie, who secretary
fV- 90
WI, confidential secretary to Dr.
Wong, were found lying head to
head in the furnace room and had
evidently been dragged there. \ gas
water heater still was burning when
officers entered the kitchen which
also is in the basement. Blood
stains We're on the kitchen floor and
on the narrow stairs leading down to
it.
DIR. Wong had a deep cash in the
back Of his head and two bullet
wounds in the chest. The pistol had
been held so closely that the vest
was scorched. Wa had one bullet
wound in the head and another i'm
the chest and Hsie had one wound
in the head
The police are at loss for a mo-
tive for the triple murder There
was no evidence that robbery had
been committed and so far as they
were able to establish from the
friends Of the men they had no en-
emies. The theory Of the officers
/ is that the two students were killed
first by some one who lurked i'm the
house and that Wong was murdered
later when he returned home.
This theory is based on several
, facts. The first is that Ii went 10
the house Wednesday and upon
ringing the bell was told by q
Strange Chinese that Dr. Wong was
not at home Another is that there
We're only two discharged cartridges
/ in the pistol. whereas at least five
shots were fired INTO the bodies The
/ officers think that sufficient time
elapsed between the death Of the
students and OF Or. Wong for the
murderer TO hide the bodies OF the
/ first two and reload the gun before
I DR.. Wong reached the house.
