A Oli Him- . Annual Report.

The following are the fail particulars

'from the Boston Traveller of the crime

charged against Gyms L. Ryan, the Char- 'Iottetown young man who removed to -Boston last summer.

The mystery surrounding the cruel

and horrible murder of Yee Yoke, the Chinese iauuoryman of Hanover, who was throttled and whose body was then thrown into a wash tub, is bothering the police, and every effort is being made tc unravel the tangled threads which pre- sent themselves thus far.

“I am innocent of the crime. I was

waiting for ashirt to be laundered and than left the store," declares the sus- pect, Cyrus L. Ryan of Hanover, who is charged with the crime, and was held without bail in Hingham court today.

It is now known that the police have

under surveillance another man, and a -second arrest is considered probable very shortly. It is claimed that Ycc_ was assaulted earlier lu the week by two Hanover young men.

The medical examiner declares thc man

was first choked and then thrown into the washlub,a(ter which the box of soap, weighing 75 pounds, was deliberately set on the murdered man’s head to prevent any possible chance of recovery. The hldeousness of the crime appals the citizens of Hanover. -

The most damaging eviience against

Ryan is his possession of a revolver said to belong to the Chinese. The theory advanced that Ryan committed the crime because he needed money is refuted by Byan's half-brother, who says that the prisoner had plenty of money and needed for nothing.

Ryan paid debtsyesterday at the factory

where he was employed. One man got $9 and others smaller sums. He had $18 when arrested.

Yee was in Boston two weeks ago, and

had $75 then. Of this sum but $47 has been found, that being between thc mat- tresses on the bunk. The remaining $28 and the proceeds of two wecks' business are gone. Thc money drawer was found opened and empty, with the key in ii.. The trunk was opened and had been riiled.

RYAN DENIES CRIME.

Ryan, the accused murderer, Captain

Proctor of tl. c state police, and a group of Chinese relatives ofthe murdered laundryman, arrived in Hanover on the train which left Boston at 8.13 a. rn.

Ryan's personal appearance is good.

His facial und general personal character- istics do not denote the criminal type.

To THE TRAVELER reporter he made

a vehement deciaration of innocence.

"I I)II)l'T DO THIS THING. THE

CIIINAMAN WAS IRONING M Y SHIRT, WIIICH HIC IIAD NEGI.I<iC'l`ED TO DO BEFORE. THE DELAY 'IO WHICH I WAS SUB.il<)CTEI) WAS THE CAUSE OF MY STANDING ABOI.-'T THE CHINESE LAUNDRY AS LONG .AS I DID. SOME ONE ELSE COMMITT- EI) THE CRIME. IT WAS NOT ME,"

Ryan was calm and imperturabla as hc

spoke, and looked the reporter straight in the eye as he made the statement.

ed upon the prisoner; hatred and deadly venom in their looks. Ryan paid no al- tenrlon tothem, however, but fixed his gaze on the landscape through which the train was passing. At times he displayed a slight symptom of nervousness by clasping his hands and twiriing his thumbs.

SHRIEKS AT RYAN.

A brother of the murdered Yee Yoke

looked searohlngly and with a hideous stare at Ryan, and then exclaimed in a hysterical tone that fairly shrieked for vengeance, “Meiican devil," “Melican devil," and then burst out into a. flood of tears, losing complete control and his usual Chinese stolcism. The scene was an affecting one. . In the party of relatives who came on

the train from Boston were Yee Shing of Bsverly,the brother of the murdered man, Too Sing, a nephew, who runs a laundry at the corner of Dorchester street and Broadway, South Boston, and Soo Hoo Wing, an interpreter, of ll Harrison avenue.

Medical Examiner Dudley and Dr.‘

Wheatley of Abington, Drs. McMillan and Craustein of this town were present. when the autopsy was made and assisted

Pending the autopsy, the Chinese vis-

ited the shop of Barber Brad Snell lin the same block, two doors below that of the laundry.

SNELL`S STORY ,

1 In the presence of TIIE TRAVELER re- porter and the Chinese, Snell told the following story of the events of yester- day:

"I noticed this man they call Ryan

hanging about the laundry yesterday be- fore noon time. In fact, my attention was called to him three or four times. Some- times he was standing out on the platform in front of the laundry and then went into the shop. l did not know him and prob- ably for that reason noticcd him more particularly.

"At noon I went to dinner, returning

shortly bciorc I o’clock. I was in the shop cuttiugn man`s hair when Paxton, the butcher entered: He said to ms, “Where is John!" meaning the Chinaman, that being the name we all called him. I answered that I did not know and asked ifhe wasn‘t in the store. Paxton replied, “I looked through the window and I ccn‘t» see html"

“I said, perhaps he is in the closet. "Paxton replied, ‘He would not go in

there and leave the door open.` I asked Paxton why he did not goin and see.

“ ‘I AM NOT GOING IN ALONE.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, I l{NOW,` was the reply of Paxton. I tcld him if he was afraid to are in alone I would goin with him after I had finished cutzing the customer.-i hair. Ilaving finished the haircut we both started for the laundry.

“The front outside do/ir was sligbly

ajur and on cnlcring we found the floor to the sleeping and wash room, they being one room, closed.

Yesterday was nomination day for the

oillees nf Mayor, eight Councillors and three Commissioners of Water Supply and Sewerage. A number of the candi- dates and occasionally some of their friends dropped into the City Cierk's office in the City Building during the

day and left in their nomination papers. TheCity Clerk, Mr. Davison, was not there, being absent from the City, but the papers were received by the Stipsnd-

iary Magistrates Clerk, John McLaugh-

arose as to the regularity of the pro- ceedings. Candidates and others looked up the law and found that the nomi- nations ought to be “given in to the City Clerk." Some wanted to know why

the Clerk was absent, who had given him leave of absence, could he lawfully

depute his authority to another, and so on. Just before the hour of closing some

excitement prevailed. An effort was made to get the Rccorder`s opinion by

phone but he was not within reach ut the moment.

There was also a question in some

minds, as to thelcgality of Angus Mc- D'ona1d’s nomination for Ward Two us he

had not given in his nomination in person. There was talk of making nr.- othcr nomination for that ward, but it did not materialise and the clock struck
