ment on a Chinaman.
MURDERED AND CREMATED
A North Carolina Farmer Returns Home
to Find the Charred Remains of
His Family Lying in the
Ruins of His Home.

SAN Francisco, April 23.-A few
days ago a Chinese appeared at the con-
sulate in this city AID told a pathetic
story of torture which he bad endured
at the hands of white 'dairymen near
San Mateo, about thirty miles from this
and wrists and ankles were stripped of
skin. He said he had been bound hand
and foot, and repeatedly strang up to a
beam until nearly strangled to make
him confess to robbery of money which
had afterward beer found. Deputy
Marshal Burns Investigated ttss matter,
and discovered that the Chinaman had
not exaggerated his wrongs. 1t seems
that about a week ago he notified his
employers, William and Edward Nc
Lellap, that he wanted to cave the
ranch. He was paid, but before he left
the proprietors' sister took a look in the
drawer where the family valuables were
kept. She found everything gone The
articles included two gold watches, the
whole being valued at $500. She at
once notified her brothers and they
accused the Chinaman of the theft, de-
uidiiuluk IetuTH VI tu5 StOlGu dTttCleS.
He maintained his innocence, and Will
lam and Edward, accompanied by their
hired man, Tom, took the Chinaman to
the loft of the stable. There Tom
was ordered to tie their prisoners
hands and feet, which was done.
They looped a RATA around
his neck and hung him upt a beam until
he wa partly s%trangled. Letting him
down TO the floor to recover, they de-
manded a confession, but he persisted
in his protestations of innocence, and
was strung up again. This sport began
at 1890 o'clock and continued until
noo At that hour Miss Mcclellan Wis
tied the loft and informed the torturers
that she had just discovered all the
missing valuables in the bed where her
mother had hidden them for safe keen
ing. The Chinaman, almost dead, was
relaaead
