CONDEMNED CHINESE
DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE (United Service.) Shanghai, April 30. The inquest into the deaths of two Indian warders while resisting a recent attempt of Chinese condemned to death to escape from gaol elicited evidence that fifty-nine men were under sentence of death and some had been waiting for confirmation by the Nanking Government for more than a year. One condemned man testified that the plot was evolved because the prisoners were tired of waiting to die, and expected to be shot during the attempted break out of prison.
