Charge Surprises Wu's Friends.

Much sympathy is being expressed
by friends of Wan, who believe he
was inyeigled into the trouble by Ben
Sen WI, who also has a number of
sympathiZing friends. WI was popu-
lar with many of his American friends
and surprise was expressed when Wan
charged that he had killed two mem
bers of the mission. WI had mingled
with many persons residing near the
mission and persons in official life and
frequently participated in tennis
games.
Police officials are satisfied, how
ever. that WI was leading a double
life part of the time he was SO popu-
lar They feel reasonably certain that
he piifered money from the mission
on numerous occasions, probably be-
cause his expenses were more than his
income.
In the investigation of the triple
murder, 1t is stated, numerous resi-
dents of Chinatown, lower Pennsyl-
yania avenue, were visited. They
were unable to throw any light on
the tragedy, detectives said, but had
discussed it among themselves. Es-
pecially was the tragedy discussed
during the Chinese New Year cele-
bration. which occurred the week
after the murders were committed
WI was known in some Of the Chi
nese cafes, but the proprietors OF
such places were unable to assist the
police in their efforts to unrayel the
mystery.

Tsong Ing Van. Vans brother, who
also was held by a coroners jury for
grand jury investigation of the muir
der. is said to be in splendid physical
condition. and practically his entire
time is spent looking after his sick
| brother.
Wan. continuing to declare his
brother innocent of any connection
with the murder and ignorant OF its
having been Committed until he re-
turned to New York. is not worried
| about what will happen to himself.
He is concerned about van, however.
and is anxious to assist him.
The regular routine of the prison
calls for the eating of meals at a
table in one of the long corridors.
Wan and Van have not yet been at
that table, it was stated at the prison
today. 1t is probable, however. that
they will join other prisoners there in
few days, especially If the sick
Chinaman's condition improves.
During the week that Wan was "a
guest of the city," quartered in Dewey
Hotel, assisting the police" to solve
the mystery of the staying of his
friend WI, il became necessary to
summon police surgeon to attend
him. The physician found him suffer-
ing from nervous indigestion, made
worse by the excitement incident to
the murder and his confinement 1t is
said that he found no evidence of tu-
berculosis, nor did he find anything to
indicate that Wan was a victim of the
drug habit

the part in which persons charged
with murder and those convicted of
such an offense are confined. They
are quiet and unassuming and give
guards no unnecessary trouble, not
making many demands for service.
While the celestials awaiting grand
jury action for their alleged connec-
ton with the triple homicide are not
the first persons of the race to be
quartered in the local prison, it is
stated, none of those who were there
before them remained more than a
few days They were in prison on
charges of dealing in narcotics and
soon were released on bond, or were
there on less serious charges and were
held only a day or two.
Inspector Clifford L. Grant, chief of
detectives. and Detectives Kelly and
Buriingane visited the prisoners yes
| terday afternoon. They found Wan
| still complaining of being sick He
was not too sick, however, to go over
a typewriter copy of his confession,
covering twenty-one pages, initial
each page and attach his signature to
| 1t. His only correction was that WI
gave him $40 or s12, thought to have
been taken from DR.. Wong's pockets,
tinstead Of SIS.
While at the jail Inspector Grant
and the detectives had Wan repeat
his version of the number of shots
| fired. and tell about the cartridges
and empty shells found in the house.
The prisoner made no change in his
version of the happenings In the mis-
sion the night its three members were
killed.
