1906: The capture of Lionel Terry

“Terry was the central figure in a shooting affair in Haining​ street, Wellington, almost exactly a year ago, when an old Chinaman named Joe Kum Yung​ received two bullet wounds and was killed. “Terry violently objected to the admission of Asiatics into English countries, and wrote a book, entitled ‘The Shadow’, in which he set out his views, and appealed to the nation to rid itself of the foreign evil. It was in order to call attention to the Yellow Peril and to his book that he picked out a Chinaman in Wellington, followed him, and deliberately shot him. “Terry gave himself up to the police, was convicted of murder, and sentenced to be hanged, but the sentence was commuted to one of imprisonment for life, and as he was considered to be insane he was removed from the gaol to the Sunnyside Mental Hospital.”
