BRUTALLY MURDERED
BRITISH POLICE OFFICER INDIAN STUDENTS’ CRIME (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) DELHI, Tuesday. The murder of a British police officer is reported from Lahore. Mr. J. P. Saunders, aged 21, Assistant-Super-intendent of Police at Lahore, was brutally murdered while he was leaving his office last evening. Two Indian students fired five shots at him, and then killed his Indian clerk, who attempted to arrest them. The assailants disappeared into an adjoining Hindu college, and escaped by another entrance. It is believed that the crime was one of revenge for the death of Lai Lajpat Rai, the Punjab Nationalist leader, on the same day last month, after a clash with the police at a boycott demonstration against the Indian Commission.
