By the Associated Press. Details of the killing of the three American Catholic wussionaries at Hwachia, near Chenki, in the Province of Hunan, China, April 2, were made public today by the State Dspartment from information given by American Consul General Frank P. Lockhart. The three missionaries at Hwachia, Revs. Walter Coveyou of Petoskey, Mich.; Clement Seybold of Dunkirk, N. Y., and Godfrey Holbein of Baltimore, were seized by 30 bandit soldiers at Hwachia. The priests were marched into the hills about 5 miles away to the mouth of a mine pit 50 feet deep. After stripping_ the missionaries of their clothes, Rev. Coveyou was shot, then Rev. Seybold, and finally Rev. Holbein. T;!xe bodies were thrown into the. mine pit. Consul General Locknart said he had been unable to learn the army to which these soldiers formerly belonged or the motive for the killing. Servants who accompanied the missionaries were re- leased by the soldiers and returned to Chenki. ‘Two other Catholic missionaries, Revs. Anthony Maloney and Miles McCarthy, with a bodyguard of 90 soldiers, left gshenkl and found the mine pit April | ered the bodies and they returned with them to Chenki April 28. Funeral serv- ices and burial of the bodies were ar- | ranged at Shenchow, Hunan, May 4. The postage stamp collection of the late H. K. Collins, a London insurance broker, has been sold in 6,000 lots for more than $150,000. For Better Service 2 g ‘.
