Stockton Jap Slaying Still Unsolved Murders

STOCKTON, Calif., Feb. 7.--(AP)--The slaying of two Japanese here which a Tokyo spokesman for the Japanese Board of Information said were among "numerous outrages" against Japanese in the United States remain unsolved mysteries because no tangible clues were left, records showed today.

The Tokyo spokesman, in one case, apparently, was alluding to the gunshot death of Jungo Kino, 55 years old, a garage attendant, at 1:20 a.m., December 26, 1941.

Police records show that an assailant entered the garage office while Kino was talking to an aged Japanese, Y. Hiota, and fled after fatally wounding Kino with a .32 bullet in the head.

The other case was that of Shigemasa Yoshioka (the Japanese broadcast have his name as Yoshitoka), a rooming-house proprietor shot at 1:05 a.m. February 20, 1942. Police records set forth that roomers heard Yoshitoka answer the house night bell. Then there were two shots, the sound of feet running downstairs, and Yoshitoka's wife found his shot with a .45 through the chest and groin.
