SHOOTING OF MR DAY. MISTAKEN FOE POLICE OFFICER. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. DELHI, January 13. Investigations suggest that Mr Day was shot in mistake for a high police officer. His assailant has been identified as a Bengalee, aged about 20, an inhabitant of Serampore, a suburb of Calcutta. He threw up his studies two years ago in order to join the Non-Co-operation movement.
The police raided 1 his house at Soramporo and seized certain documents. They also searched the Congress office and a few other buildings in Calcutta, and two arrests were made. There is the strongest evidence that the outrage was committed by a, prominent member of the Bengal revolutionary party. The cartridges used were of The Continental type and arc not purchasable in India. They are the same as those which were used in the murder of the Calcutta sub-post-master in August last.—Reuter,
