BOMBING OF CABINET
JAPANESE MURDER PLAN Plotters Arrested at Prayer REMARKABLE CONSPIRACY (By Telegraph— Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received 17, 9.40 a.m.) TOKIO, Sept. 16. Details of a remarkable plot in 1933 to murder a number of prominent men, including Count Ikki and Baron Vamototo, have been revealed on the removal of the censor’s ban. Sixty- three of the participants were arrested when they assembled at a shrine to pray for the success of the coup d’etat, the signal for which was to be the bombing of a Cabinet meeting from an aeroplane. Then the conspirators were to raid the homes of their intended victims and murder them. Fifty-four of the accused have now been committed for trial for insurrection, and five others have been charged with attemtped murder and arson.
