Ziang Sun Wan, the Chinese stu- dent charged with murder in the first degree in connection with the Kkilling of Ben Sen Wu, an undersecretary at the .Chinese educational mission, testified today in his own behalf be- fore Justice Hoehling and a jury in Criminal Division 1. This is the third' time that he has told an Amer- ican jury that he had mo part in the triple murder which occurred when Ben Sen Wu was killed. It also is the second time from the same witness stand, because it was in this courtroom that he was first tried, in December, 1919, and January, 1920 Attorney Wilton J. Lambert, chief counsel for the prisoner, conducted the examination of the defendant. United States Attorney Gordon sub- jected him to a searching cross-exam- ination, as on the occasion of the second trial, last January. Jail Improves Health. The prisoner's physical appearance is in striking contrast with that on the occasfon of the first trial. Then he was about 24 years old, thin and emaciated. Now, seven vears later, after detentlon in'the Washington jail he appears in robust health. e nar- rated his activities in this country since his arrival in 1916, when he was 22 years old, saying he left his mother, a sister and brother in China. But the brother, Van. came to America one vear later. When a boy he knew Dr. T. T. Wong, who was a friend of his family and whom his mother had asked to look after his education. Dr. Wong was the director of the mission and one of the men slain, Ben Sen Wu, whom he is charged with kflling, Wan sald, had been his roommate. The witness told of receiving money from China while he was in New York and investing in a motion pic- ture venture, which failed. He then became sick and was invited to come to the misslon house. He described his movements on the day of the tragedy. Took Liquor for “Flu.” On cross-examination Maj. Gordon trled to bring out that the witness had been drinking heavily after his the- atrical venture fafled, but Wan, fac- ing the jury, explained that the doc- tor had prescribed whisky for the “flu” and the witness did not know how much he could stand. On one occasion. he admitted, he drank a pint of whisky and the landlady remon- strated with him. The defendant was still under cross-examination this afternoon. P. 0. PROMOTIONS. Harry W.
