CHINESE EXECUTED
WHY BRIDE WAS KILLED.
(Australian Press Association.) (By Cable —Press Assn. —Copyright? (Recd. March 25, 9 a.m.) LONDON, March 24. The “Sunday Express” states that Chungyimiao (sentenced to death for strangling his wife, on their honeymoon) confessed before his execution that he killed his wife, though he loved her. He said that a Chinese wife could know no greater disgrace than to be incapable of bearing a son, while her husband was accursed. Her death was no murder, according to my faith. She knew that she stood between me and eternal peace.
