HINT IN DEATH
OF dc. CHINESE
Victim Strangled,
Throat Slashed
BY CARROLL PEEKE

A heavy police guard was
thrown around Union Station
bus terminals and all roads lead
ing from the city today, following
what detectives believe may have
been tong murder of Henry Derr
500, so, Chinese laundryman.
500 was found dead early today
in his apartment above his laun-
dry, at laos H st. N. e. A rope
was knotted around his neck, his
legs were tightly bound, and his
throat had been slashed.
Following examination, Coroner
A. Magruder Macdonald an.
nounced that strangualtion was
the cause of death.
CAME FROM BOSTON
Police were informed that 500,
who came here from Boston about
three years ago, was a member
of the On Leong Tong. At the
tong headquarters m e m b e S
denied 500 was a member, and
said they did not know him.
Police broadcast a lookout for
the arrest Of a Chinaman about
40 years old, 5 feet S inches tall,
with hair greying at the temples
and having Q gold tooth. ~
This man, described as wanted
for murder" was wearing a blue
suit, dark overcoat and black
shoes. ..
Detectives declared robbery was
not the motive for the murder, as
Soo's cash box, containing a con.
siderable sum was found intact
in the laundry.
One of Soo's upper rooms had
been ransacked, however, and pc
lice believe the killer was search
ing for documents of some nature.
THREE QUESTIONED
Three persons were taken to the
Ninth precinct for questioning by
detectives. They were King 500,
20, of IS E st. N. W., Mary Tesvie,
colored. who worked for 500 and
found his body when she reported
for work about 7 o'clock this
morning, and her husband. Viii
liam TeSvie.
While police were questioning
these three, five Chinese came to
the precinct and said they wished
to confer with the detectives about
the case. What information they
gave was not revealed immedi-
ately.
After several hours questioning
at the precinct, police booked Mrs.
Tesvie and her husband for inves-
tigation in connection with the
case.

dark gray oVercoat and dark gray
hat rushed up to his cab two
blocks from the George Mason
Hotel and gasped:

Jackson's description OF the
man is remarkably similar to that
given of Hardy's assailant by

old George Washington University

shooting.
After the man leaped on the run

Shouting above the din, Roth
vigorously defended himself
against the charge, declaring he
was a typical small business
man."

VICTIMS TALE
Of FPANHANDLER
UNDER ATTACK
Widow Was There,
Evidence Hints
BY JAMES CULLINANE

The bullet which climaxed the
pleasure jaunt of Russell Hardy,
ace trust busting attorney of the
Justice Department, and, his at
tractive red-haired aid, was fired
by a man who fled Alexandria
Saturday obsesSed with the
thought he had killed two persons.
Lieut.. John Fowler, ballisticS
expert of the Washington Police
Department, today declared the
bullet removed from Hardy's hip
was fired from the gun wrested
from a well-dressed and highly
nervous man shortly after the
shooting.
BRANDED SELF SLAYER
Before the gun was torn from
his hands by a colored taxicab
driver, the fugitive shouted:
"I've just killed two people"
Since Mrs. Elisabeth Connor
Buchanan, "a, law clerk in Hardy'S
office and companion on an after.
hours motor ride, has said she was
inside the George Mason Hotel
when the shooting occurred, inves-
tigators are mystified as to what
mental twist led the fleeing man
to believe he had killed two per-
sons.
''PANHANDLER" TALE HIT
The gun was turned over to
police shortly after the shooting
by Cain jackson, colored, who said
the man from whom he took 1t
looked far more like a reputable
citizen than a panhandler. Hardy
has contended he was shot by an
infuriated panhandler.
At his press conference today
Attorney General Cummings re-
ferred briefly to the Hardy shoot
ing, saying:
Sorry about the accident to
Mr.. Hardy. The matter is not
such to have the official con.
Germ of the department"
Mrs. Buchanan, who vanished
yesterday after voluntarily iden-
tifying herself as Hardy's compan.
ion at the time of the shooting,
was still missing from her apart
ment at 1900 Connecticut Ave.

Identification of the gun gives
investigators their first tangible
