INDIAN RESIDENTS' PROTEST. Murderer Repudiated. Political Aspect of the Tragedy. A largely attended, meeting of Indian resi- was held at the New Reform Club, ^delphi-terrace, on Saturday evening, for the Purpose of expressing indignation and horror the assassination of Sir W. Hutt Cur/xjn V.yllie, and Dr. L&lcaca, at the Imperial In- "tute .on Thursday night., by the young ftaian Madar Lai Dhingra. The Hon. Surenda I atb Banerjee, one of the delegates to the imperial Press Conference, was in the chair, and the room was packed with Indian gentle- some of whom were wearing turbans. ne or two ladies were also present. The Meeting was timed for eight o'clock, but veral people had arrived as early as seven 9 clock. Conversation turned solely upon the bastardly outrage committed the other evening vQc* the strongest detestation was expressed, oth for the murderer and the crime for which was responsible. We have met here to-night," said the Caairnaan, under the shadow of a grave Public misfortune. We are here to express our Ulcere abhorrence and detestation of the foul ^sassinaticm of Sir Curzon Wyllie and Dr. f^lcaca. I do not know what the motives for crimes were I do not care to inquire +i°Ut them. Whether they were personal or otherwise, in your name and on your behalf as as my own, I desire to express our strong Condemnation of the deed and the motives J^Mch inspired it. We are Orientals, wedded the loftiest traditions of morality. (Ap- Puiuse.) We remember, and we remember with Pfide, that India has been the home of the hlRhest ethical conceptions she has been the **adle of some of the great religions of the which have played so prominent a part determining the character of the ideals and "Pirations of so large a section of the human Ceo (Hear, hear.) According to our ideas a murder is a murder—(hear, hear.)—no matter what might be the determining motives, no Matter under what specious plausibility it be sought to be justified by any apostle any new principle of morality." (Applause.) Resolutions of condemnation were passed. The Assassin. Previous to residing at India House, High- the accused man Dhingra lived for nearly ~»lonth at No. 45, Bernard-street, Russell- j^T^re, a boarding-house occupied by a Mrs Inquiries there by a representative the fact that Dhingra was a man who Preserved the greatest secrecy as to his inten- 9&s and movements. ite left the boarding-house without saying here he was going, and giving no instructions to Where his correspondence should be for- warded. As a matter cf fact, he received very evr letters, hardly any at all, and he never ivulged to anyone in the house the nature of if oCCupat.ion, whether he was a student, or, fact, nothing whatever about himself. He an object of some curiosity amongst his jeUow-boarders, and he never became on endly terms with any of them, and never rpepmpanied them on the various excursions hich were undertaken at times. Police Inquiries. .v^he circumstances leading up to the murder bir William Curzon Wyllie are engaging the ^tention of a large force of detectives, of whom Uperintendent Quinn, the head of the Politi- ■J?1* Investigation Department at Scotland *apd, is in charge. Superintendent Quinn is one i phe most experienced officers in this branch C'lwstigation in Europe, and has been suc- .01 in unravelling many mysteries seem- 7^'y impossible to penetrate. The police in- juries go to prove that the accused man's jr°ther, who is at present a student living in f has dissociated himself from the views accused man held, and also that the family ^■Ve expressed their abhorrence of the crime. Political Agitation. ti ]qp K. G. Jupta, interviewed by a representa- at his residence in West Kensington, there must be some agencies at work in g°Udon to,poison the minds of young Indians. Veu assuming the agitators have some object S v?ew' I do not see how it is to be realised by foul deeds as these. Murder in such a Cn tal raanner cannot help their cause, on the o/trary it is bound to retard it. There is thing one cannot understand in these an<^ that is their peculiar methods, -there must be a connection," Mr Jupta on to say, betweten the agitation in 8r> a .an|i in England. That agitation is Pleading gradually over the whole of the country, and even stolid Madras is becoming T?ected. There are many reasons why there is ^content in the country, and these reasons Jfere brought to the surface and focussed by "Ue partition of Bengal. It was that which brought in the system boycotting, which caused such estrangement between Europeans and India. There is no dOUbt that the Indians suffer from legitimate es which are recognised in this but there is an extreme party which Cthm the overthrow of English rale alto- sal vvr the working out of their own the That party is not in agreement with ha. Vast majority of the people of India, and I tion *° ^oubt that, perhaps with the excep- ^ort a Verysma^ number wbo may have by f themselves into a state of fanaticism, tar the larger number are elderly and sober gk who condemn the crime and feel the ^e of it most acutely."
