Fong All Wing Stabbed and Killed ]

FonG All Wing stabbed and Killed by
All sue.
About half an hour after the shooting
a still more sensational affair occurred in
Chinatown, being nothing less than the
murder of Chlnaman named All Wing
by one All Sue, and it may be that the
latter is the'one who shot Fong Tong by
mistake.
1t was about $50 o'clock when Lafe
Tomlin, who was at the corner of Fourth
and 1 streets, saw two Cinnamon running
along Fourth street toward I. Just as
The foremost one stepped off the sidewalk
at I street he fell on his face, and his pur-
suer struck him in the back several
times.
Tomlin at first thought they were sky
larking, but when he saw the fallen Chi
namen did not rise. he made up his mind
he was stabbed, and such proved to be
the case, as the fallen man was found to
be dead.
Tomlin followed the Chinaman who
had done the stabbing to little Chinese
clearinghouse back of the California State
Bank, and after seeing him enter went
for a policeman. He found officers Fer
raj, Lowell and Special George Rider,
and Ferrsl notified the Coroner that a
Chinaman had been killed.
Rider stayed by the body, and after
Ferral came back all four searched the
building. but did not find the murderer.
They went around on l street, and there
heard a police whistle. Going in that
direction they found All 10y, who told
them he would find the murderer for
them, and went and pointed him out to
the officers.
Special officer Greer had in the mean
time arrived with the patrol wagon, and
held the murderer while Ferral, Rider
and Lowell searched him, and found the
knife and took it away from him. The
murderer was then taken to the police
station.
While Tomlin had gone for the officers
three friends of the murdered man car
ried him to I street and laid him down,
where Rider watched him to see that the
body was not taken away.
It was all the officers could do to get
the prisoner through the crowd and to
the station, as all Chinatown was excited
over the previous shooting affair. When
they arrived at tn jail the prisoners hands
were found to be bloody, and his coat
and boots to be all muddy. He made a
statement through All 10y and another
Chinaman, as Interpreters, stating that
he and his victim had some trouble and
The murdered man struck him on the
arm with a stick and then he took the
knife to him.
All 10y is deserving of credit for the
assistance he gave to the police; the mur-
derer and murdered man both belonging
to his company.
The victim was a rag-picker named
FOng All Wing, and the man who killed
killed him was his so-called Cousin -
Fong All Sue. The prisoner confessed to
the killing, and acknowledged the owner
ship of the knife, small white handled
dagger with five-inch blade.
At the corner of Fourth and I streets
was big pool of blood, and one of the
dead mans shoes still lay there.
Special officer Greer stated that when
ne caught hold of Fong All Sue the latter
tried TO stab him, but that officer Ferral
came up, and they caught his hands and
disarmed him.
Chinatown was thrown into a fever of
excitement by the occurrences above mar
rated, and there is probably more at the
bottom of the matter than the average
white man can find out.
Some of the more cunning of the Chi
nese hinted last night that the end is not
yet, and it may be that the city is on the
eve of another Chinatown riot like that o.
last year.
