Mother Scout Story Minister Son Slain Doubt Curbs Rumor
Erie, Dec 17. Doubt that Rev Arthur J Dieffenbacher son of Mr and Mrs Floyd Dieffenbacher was slain in China by bandits is expressed after a telegram from the China Inland Mission Society in Philadelphia. The Erie missionary connected with China denied the rumor and urged tracing the source of the newspaper report. His sister-in-law said the slain friends of a Rev Stam were not near him, as provinces differ by miles. No word from China about further bandit killings or the missionary is received, while government troops pursue the bandits.
