was
assassinated
in

In

Almost

and
Japanese
troops
crossed
Into

International

ostensibly
to
search
for
Chinese
Nationalists
who
may
have
slain
the
mayor.
Some
suspicion
was
held
about
the
proptitude
with
which
the
Japanese
entered
the
settlement
following
the
Incident.
There
was
also
some
speculation
as
to
how
an

could
have

home
of
the
