Chinese Marshal Given Ten Years
NANKING, China, Dec. 31. <U.R)
—The military affairs commission
of the government today found
"young" Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang guilty of eight charges in
his audacious seizure of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek in an effort to force war against Japan.
The young marshal was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment
and five years' loss or civil rights.
But it was believed that the generalissimo, head of the government and the country's strong
man, would pardon his captor and
thus end one of the most astonishing incidents of China's astonishing political history.
