Evidence photos in 1948 Teigin murder case made public

TOKYO, Japan - About 200 photos of evidence in the 1948 ''Teigin (Teikoku Ginko) mass murder and robbery case,'' one of Japan's most sensational crimes in the aftermath of World War II, were made public Feb. 24 by the defense council for the late Sadamichi Hirasawa, the man convicted of the crime. In this photo taken by Masaaki Kato and released by the defense council, lawyer Makoto Endo examines the tea cups from which bank employees, 12 of whom died, drank a cyanide-laced ''antidote'' given to them by a man posing as a public health official.
