LONDON, July 9.-The entire 1 :
Pekin diplomatic corps, invcstigat- !
ing the Shanghai shootings by for
i ign police, lias decided thait ;t Brit
ish police officer, the British chief j
of police an ( | the American ehaiir- i
man of the Shanghai municipal
council were at least partly to blame
for the affair, it was learned au
tiioritatively today.
It was emphasized that ft he whole
displomutii; corps — not a commis
sion of three, as reported earlier —
had made this decisi >u. This
meant British and Japanese were
rt [unseated and it was said that pre
sumably the British minister’s views
coincided with Bioec of his col
leagues.
It was found, according to the
correspondent, that blame rested up
on the British chief of polka* of
Shanghai for not being present at
the time of the incident, and upon
the American chairman of if he
Shanghai municipal council because
he was nominally in charge of po

sunrenie court here on behalf of
Levis Peyry and Thomas Bailey,
held at San Quentin, and then
rushed to Sacramento to take simi
lar action in behalf of
Monti.jo. in Folsom. The three were
convicted of killing Policeman
Glenn F. Bond in Los Angeles dur
ing a robbery.
For Perry, the attorney cites the
claim of his mother, Mis. Jennie
Perry, that he was under 18 wheu
the crime was committed February
20. 1024.
For both Perry and Bailey , the
claim is made that the law under
which they were sentenced is un
constitutional in that it allows re
sentencing without appearance of
defendants in court.
The move to save Montijo rests
upon affidavit of his aged father,
George Monti.jo. that the son has
been mentally incompetent since
childhood when he was struck ’on
the head by a cellar door.
If appeals to the state courts are
in vain Spagnoli said he would go
