SUBSCRIPTION Wm. E. Marshall, Business Manager Layton Marshall, Editor and Proprietor Korean Tell of Vain Plot To Murder Taisho. TOKYO. Twenty-tw-o years ago a Korean mailman quietly young planned to assassinate the late Emperor Taisho of Japan by delivering a bomb in the palace mail at the time of the wedding of Taisho s son, now Emperor Hirohito. Betrayed by a friend, he was arrested before the plot could be carried out and. sentenced to life imprisonment.

The shy, bewildered Pack weighed only 85 pounds when released by American soldiers in October. Since then he has been recovering his health. He chose Pearl Harbor anniversary day to call on General MacArthur and express double thanks for his liberation and Koreas. Several hundred of his followers waited outside the army headquarters building. MacArthur was absent, so Pack left a card for him.

The files contained execution records for Poles, Belgians, French, Dutch and Lithuanians, in addition to 63 German soldier deaths for desertion, 35 for acts injurious to the nation and 30 for treason.
