  24 ‘The Murder of Mr Riley’, The Times, 11 November 1927. It is odd that another source (the Scoop database which lists profiles of thousands of journalists) says of Riley: ‘Appointed special correspondent for The Times in China, 1927 and was tortured and murdered by the troops of General Feng Yu-hsiang, his death being reported to the British Consul by a German woman doctor, Carla Schreyer.’ On 11 October 1927, four weeks before The Times released its report, the Northern Territory Times published this report from London: ‘The little hope which still lingered that F. Basil Riley, son of the Archbishop of Perth, WA, might still be alive, is now dispelled by the German woman who reported that Riley had been murdered by Chinese troops. She supplied full details of the crime to Sir Sidney Barton, the British Consul-General [in Shanghai].’ If so, Barton and The Times suppressed them.
