Mai. Pullman Noiees Thanks
for Aid Given to the Police
in Sewing Murder Mystery

Maj. Pullman today issued the fol-
lowing statement in connection with the
case:
The investigation in connection with
the great triple Chinese murder was
perhaps the most intensely interesting
case to occupy the attention of the Bis
trict Of Columbia metropolitan police,
or, In fact, the attention of any police
department Of the United States for
many years. IL was the first time in
this country that a very Important crime
has occurred in the circles Of Chinese
Iof, the refined and highly educated. class
There are cofRparative1y few members
Of this class in America. This greatly
restricted our source Of information, and
made our Investigations exceedingly
difficult.
For week 1t was a case of members
of the police department having To
match their wits with the wits Of c,il-
tuTed Chinese, who have been educa ted
IN tho best schools and colleges of
America, and Europe and who have back
OF them thousands of years of the won
derful civilization of China But. as is
always the case, the men having any
connection with the crime make mis-
takes, and prove the old truism that
even the desire to commit a crime is

In New York II was learned that
Wan had an account at the bank
of the United States Mortgage and
Trust Company. where he had a bal
ance of SAL. Wan made deposits on
his brothers account. Mai. Pullman
said it had been learned that both
men were borrowers and that Wan
was anxious to return to China. possi-
bly, on account of his health. and had
the $4,000 check transaction been
successful he could have returned and
had money enough 20 start a bank
account.
1t is stated that the police have
found nothing TO connect Van with
the shooting or to place him in the
house when the triple tragedy was
committed. His brother thus far has
declared Van innocent of any connec-
ton with the murder. and said he did
not know of it when he presented the
check at the Riggs Bank. There had
been no charge of murder placed
against either suspect this afternoon,
the record at the police station con-
tanning an entry to show they were
held for the detectives.
Maj. Pullman and Inspector Grant
said they had no thought of releasing
Van. however, but would hold him UNI
til the murder investigation is fin-
'fshed. Van, it is stated. made state
