MORE BLOOD.
Another Hishbinder Murder in
Chinatown.

The regulation highbinder murder oc-
Cured again last night in Chinatown, and il
Is very evident that the three highbindef
feuds now on between six of the most
desperate Tongs of desperadoes have not
been evened up yet The Tongs claim man
for man, and so far the odds are uneven in
the three main fights. That more blood will
be shed is certain, and the police expect
general street battle at any moment.
AT 1905 o'clock Officers Murphy and King
of the special Chinatown squad were stand
ing on Stockton street near Pacific, and no.
tlced four Cinnamon coming up Stockton
from Paclhc, acting in suspicious manner.
They determined to search them for weap-
ons, and ordered them to halt. Two did so
ana two ran off, one of the latter throwing
away into the street fine new six-chamber
Smith u Wesson's 44-caliber pistol. This
was secured b. Officer King, while Officer
Murphy searched the other men.
lie found on each large new Colts
frontier six-shot revolver, with every cham
Der loaded. The prisoners were taken to
the Central Station and booked for carry
Ing weapons concealed and locked up. They
gave the names of Wong Lee and All Sing.
An examination OF the three pistols was
made at the station, but not one of them
showed signs OF having been recently dis
charged. The officers had just left the
station and were going back to their beats
when the patrol-wagOn dashed up to the
Morgue aud a Chinaman all covered with
blood from two pistol wounds in the body
was taken out and placed on the operating
table.
He gave the name of Au Wah Keong. and
SAID he was a cfgar-maker. The examina-
ton of his wounds proved that two gun
snots had been fired into his back, both bull
lets passing clear through the body and
making their exit just close to the navel
He was in great agony and could not give
any clear account of by whom aud how the
shooting was done, but Sergeant Price, who
found Keong laying wounded in the jack
s0n-street Chinese theater, had the two
prisoners brought into the hospital and
asked KeOng if they had shot him.
he0ng, In the presence of many witnesses,
Immediately identified All Sing, whose
right name is Chin 9ung Sing, as the man
vino bad shot him. He failed to identify
into the hospital with All 10y, cook at 5G7
Suffer street. 10y was heard asking one OF
the actors in the theater after the shooting
TO hide him and save him. Keong did not
identity him as having assaulted him, but
ne was locked up pending an examination,
while the wounded man fingered on in great
agony until II o'clock, when he died.
From the highbinding card of identifica-
ton found on tie body of the dead man, it
was asce.tained that his name was Ow
hing Kong, aud that he joined the Suey On
Tong OF binders in August last. He. was a
near relative of OW Ying Wong, the Presi-
dent of the Suey 0ns. and it is thought
that the Suey Sings, being unable 20 kill
Ow Ying Wong, arranged to kill his nearest
reIatlVe. Last nights murder makes the
Suey Sings one ahead over the Susy Ons.
1t viii not be long. however, before the
Sney Ons will make things even again.
Detective GlenDon searched the theater
soon after the shooting and found the
weapon with which Kong was most prob
ably killed, concealed under the fruit stand
IN the back of the theater. 1t was large
45-caliber Colts frontier, with two of its
chambers discharged. A number of other
loaded pistols were also found hidden under
the seats and were all confscated.
There seems but little doubt that KOng's
murder was long planned. A number Of
Suey Sings have visited the theater every
night for some time past waiting for their
prey. When Kong entered he took seat
on the second last back row of benches. A
crowd of Sing binders closed behind him,
trigger was pulled and the ed was done.
