Signature on Bank Book Stub Cited in Chinese Suspects Case
Maj Pullman details handwriting tests linking signatures including T. T. Wong on a bank book stub and Wan’s photo on a check for 40 dollars. He and police argue the trio’s actions align with a murder motive at the mission house, with Wan described as a well educated chemist and Wan as a sick pampered sportsman. Investigations note they had only 41 dollars in the bank and theory centers on robbery as motive.
