PEIPING, China, October 28.-Ed-
gar Snow, American magazine writer
and newspaper man, expressed fear
today a foreigner may have been
executed in inner China.
The Kansas City (Mo) journalist,
emerging safely from the interior. said
mistaken identity was the only pos
sible explanation for baseless reports
he had been slain by Chinese bandits.
Snow said he was mystified, other
wise, by a letter to American mis-
sionaries at Sianfu, Shensi Province,
giving details of his execution" at
the hands of Chinese abductors.
He said he was not molested at any
time during his trip in Northwest
China.
The mysterious, unsigned letter gave
graphic details of the supposed slay-
ing. telling how the victim fell into
the hands of "red bandits" and was
shot when he was caught writing
about them in his notebook.
Although mistaken, the missionaries
said, the letter appeared to be gen

He did don a flying suit over his
dinner jacket as concession to low

vest of the man-about-town attired
for formal eating had been replaced
with a white sweater. He had slipped
slacks over his trousers.
