ago, obtaining work at Heeia
Just recently he came to Honolulu
on account of illness and took 8
room next to that of All York, who
occupied one with his uncle, Tong
Chez, the landlord.
Wong Look disappeared Satur-
day night and returned to his room
at 4 o'clock Sunday morning. He
was drenching wet, and after hang
ing his clothes in the window, re-
tired to bed, rising at about 7
o'clock. During the morning he
was very busily engaged in sharp
ening a butcher knife with a file.
He lounged about his room saying
nothing to anyone and acting
strangely.
Between 3 and 4 o'clock in the
afternoon All York went down
stairs with two buckets, and after
filling them with water returned
indoors and was stabbed by Wong
Look on ascending the stairs.
No one saw the occurrence, but
it is supposed that as the boy was
ascending Wong Look rushed down
from his room and stabbed him be-
fore he knew what was happening.
When the police officer on duty
near the place arrived on the spot
the boy was found doubled up at
the foot of the stairs. Both the
buckets were near him, and in
dark corner the butcher knife, COW
cred up to the hilt with blood, was
found. The wound appeared as if
the boy had been stabbed and the
knife wound around two or three
times. The victim was removed |
20 the hospital and his injuries at
ended to.
Immediately after stabbing the
BOY Wong Look escaped over the
pack fence toward No. 5 engine
house. He was seen in company
With another Chinaman and two
native women living in the vicinity.
Detective KAPPA sent men out
N the track of Wong Look as
quickly as possible. 1t is supposed
hat he made for the other side of
he island, where he has cousin.
)ne of his friends, who lived in
he same room with him, was ar
ested and held for investigation.
About a quarter past II last
light information was received at
he station house that the stabber
'as in the neighborhood of the
ooms of the Tong Hing Society.
ieutenants Hart and Needham,
18th some officers, were dispatched

irected to a room in a two-story
ouse opposite. Needham went up
airs and found his man
,ouched behind a door. He
as at once placed under
rest and taken to the station
ouse and identified by China
an who lived in the same house.
e was afterwards taken to the
ueen's Hospital and identified by
lie wounded boy, who, up to that
me, had been getting along nice :
:, but after seeing his assailant he
gan vomiting blood. +
1t was learned last night that
e boy was very frugal and saved \
| the money he earned except

penses. 4
