|CH|NESE STUDENT
|SPLACED ON TRIAL
Ziang Sung Wan Faces In
dictment for Murder in
First Degree.

Ziang Sung Wan, a Chinese student,
was placed on trial today before JUS
tice Gould. in Criminal Division I. to
answer an indictment for murder in
the first degree in connection with
the death of Ben Sen WI, an assistant
at the Chinese educational mission. at
2023 Kalorama road. January last
The morning session of the court was
occupied in vain attempt to secure a
Jury. The panel of regular jurors was
exhausted and the court ordered a
special venire for tomorrow.
Wan is also under indictment for
the death Of DR.. Theodore T. Wong.
director of the mission, and of Chang
Hsi Hsie, secretary of the institution.
whose bodies were discovered at the
mission at the same time that Wu'S
death became known. three days after
the tragedy. The triple murder gave
the police a mystery to work on. and
visit of detectives to New York re-
suited in the finding of Wan and his
younger brother, Tsong Ing Van. who
consented to come to Washington to
aid in the unravelling of the mystery.
The arrest of the brothers followed
and they were held by a coroner's jury
as responsible for the tragedy.
Indictment for Forgery.
The grand jury after an extended
inquiry into the homicides reached
the conclusion that the elder brother
alone did the shooting and That the
younger one should be exonerated
AS Van. however. bad been identified
by officials of the Riggs National
Bank as the Chinaman who presented
early January 80 a check for $4,000
supposed to be signed by DR.. Wong
and his secretary Hsie. an indictment
for forgery was reported against the
younger brother, and he is now
awaiting trial.
Although Wan is charged with q
triple murder by the grand jury to-
day, he was called on to answer only
the indictment charging the death OF
WI. United States Attorney Laskey
and Assistant United States Attorne,
Laws, who are conducting the prose
cution, explained that the reason fol

according to an alleged confession
obtained from Wan by the police ht

he discovered that WI had killed hi!
two friends, De. Wong and Hsie.
Attorneys James A. O'Shea and
Charles Fahy, for the accused, have
not yet outlined their defense. but
from questions put to the prospective
jurors it would appear that they will
attempt to expose the third degree
methods claimed to have been adopted
by the police to secure the alleged
confession
The theory of the government, as
indicated in the wording of the in
dictments. appears to be that 1t was
the scheme of the two brothers tc
break into the Chinese mission and
obtain possession of the check book
in general use there and forge the
signatures of Dr. Wong and his sec
rotary to a check large enough tc
cover what the two brothers are SAID
