PRIESTS KILLED.
MISSIONARIES IN CHINA. A FURTHER OUTRAGE. (Received Wednesday, 10.5 a.m.) SHANGHAI, Tuesday. A further outrage upon missionaries is reported in official telegrams reaching Peking. It appears that Communists captured a Roman Catholic Bishop and a number of priests and sisters at Kianfu, killing two priests. The bishop and one priest were released, 6 presumably to arrange for ransom. During 1930 over one hundred foreign missionaries were captured by bandits, of which about one-third were murdered.
