Moslems Are Suspected.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 24, 1912:
    LONDON, Tuesday. Dec. 24.— The motive for the attack on Lord Hardinge is a mystery as to which it is impossible to hazard a guess until it is known whether the miscreant is a Hindu or a Mussulman.
    Fears are expressed here that the outrage may have been a manifestation of Moslem resentment at the British occupancy of the ancient Mohammedan capital of India. It is asserted that a warning reached London some time ago to the effect that some violence would be attempted by Mohammedans on the occasion of the state entry of the Viceroy into Delhi.
