 NEWARK, Dec, 26.-Three Chinamen in American dress entered Hung Cheng's laun- dry on Market street tonight about 7:30 on plea of getting warm. After talking short time one of them crept behind Chang and threw moose oyer his head. The others af- ter gagging and binding him demanded the key to his money. This Cheng refused to give up and he was strung up to rafter. The men procured hatchet and a knife and at the refusal of Chang to divulge the moneys hiding place they hacked him in tue arms, body and legs. Finally seeing there was no hope of escape Chang told them where to find the key and begged to be released. They secured the money and decamped. Two neighbors named Smith hearing Chang's moans entered the laundry and cut him l down. He was unconscious and covered l with blood flowing from gaping wounds all over his body. When he recovered con sciousness he said he did not think he could l identify his assailants should they be appre- 1 hended, having never seen them before. He l will hardly recover.
