Only Two Men Wanted.
In spite Of all rumors indicating

wanted for the crime. No American

DEATH SQUAD TO

BOSTON, Feb. 5.--Eminent medical

A Death Squad" Of fifty young

that the large check was forged only
when the guilty men had failed to
get money by other methods.
Had they succeeded in cashing the
check early Thursday morning it was
the intention of the assassins to flee
the country, using the money of their
most important victim. to finance the
trip.
Both men involved are known
spendthrifts and men of expensive
habits. Both are known to have been
in desperate need of money.
killed To "COver Up"
The police believe now that muir
der, even in a single instance, was
not originally contemplated, but Ihat
one man was killed to cover Up the
robbery and forgery, and that the
other two were slain to seel their
| lips.
When the murderers left the house
on Kalorama road, they made certain
there was nothing left living in the
house to tell the tale of the terrible
struggle and crime which had just
taken place.
They reckoned without DR.. Kong Ii.
who remembered that Wan had opened
the door to him at o'clock, and they
also made a deadly mistake in leaving
their own handwriting on the check stub

Helen Wong, the heartbroken daugh-
ter OF the dead educator, is deter
mined to ayenge her fathers tragic
death She is now awaiting police de-
veIopments in which she has every
confidence, but it is her announced
intention to leave no stone unturned
to bring the murderers of her father
and his two associates to justice.
"I have no desire for revenge" Miss
Wong declared, ''but I shall certainly
avenge this horrible deed. Ny fathers
life was wonderful record. He was
the last man in the world to deserve
such a terrible and untimely end.

the crime. 1 shall never rest until
his slayer has been brought to jus

Explains "MysteFy" Message.
A rumor gained credence to the ef-
feet that Helen Wong had received
a mysterious telegram, possibly from
one Of the mUrderers, telling her of
her fathers critical illness. Such a
telegram was sent to her, but it came
from the Chinese Legation.
She was told her father was i'll be-
cause legation officials feared that
the shock of the knowledge Of his
death, or that a murder had been
committed might so unnerve the
young woman that she would be un-
able to make the long trip from Mich
igan. She was met at the train by
Mrs. Thomas Morrison, her fathers
lifelong, friend whom she calls
Mana" and upon whom she looks as
her american mother" while her
own mother is 5000 miles away in
faraway Shanghai
At the station. in response to her
eager queries, she was told that "the
worst was over" She interpreted
this to mean that her father had
passed some crisis Of illness.
Arrived at Mrs. Morrison's home in
Riggs place, the truth was told her,
first that her father had passed away,
and, second, that he had died a violent
death.
The young girls grief was terrible,
and there was no Oriental restraint.
She is calmer today, and is assisting
in making final arrangements for the
! services to be held over her fathers
body. DR.. Wong was an EpiscO-

The body will be placed in the
vault until such time as it can be
