MR GILES RECOVERING
TWO DOCTORS MURDERED,
(British Official News.) Tress Association —By Wireless—Copyright.
RUGBY, March 27
Mr Giles, the British Consul-General at Nanking, who was wounded during the troubles there, and is now on, board the British cruiser Emerald, is going on satisfactorily. The wound is through the thigh, but the bullet missed the bone, and is not serious. Mrs Giles is also on board unhurt, but she and other foreigners suffered intolerable treatment and indignities. It is stated that the murder of Dr Sackville Smith, an Englishman, at Nanking, was particularly brutal. Dr Smith’s finger was cut off to secure his ring. Ho was then told that ho could go free; but on leaving his house he was shot dead. The reason given for his murder and that of Dr Williams, president of the American University at Nanking, was that they attended the wounded of the Northern soldiers.
