came out at a hearing in the Tombs
police court today. A young Chinese
maiden was the victim. She had been

ter by her lover for 5000. The case was
discovered by a reporter. Suen Yee

She came to this country five
years ago, four of which she spent
in San Francisco. She was the hand
maid of wealthy Chinese bride. One
day she fell in love with All Poor, a
Chinese gambler. The scandal drove
her from her lovers home. She came
to New York disguised as boy, and in
Poor's company. Her gambler lover
was unfortunate, and poverty drove him
to sell the girl to Lee Xiii. Lee Xii
