§ 1. Lieut. - Colonel HOWARD - BURYasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has received any information regarding the murder of Mr. Day in the Chowringhee at Calcutta; and whether the murder was the act of a fanatic or due to political reasons?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Earl Winterton)Information has been received to the same effect as the messages that have already appeared in the public Press. It seems clear that the murder was due to political reasons. The man arrested is a member of a revolutionary society. But there is every reason to suppose that Mr. Day was shot by the murderer in mistake for someone else.
