morning and wounded Ngow in the thigh.
Last evening Officers T. +. Burke and J..
Galloway made search of the building
of the Tsuey Sing Tong at 1905 Dupont
street, and in an upper room found the
body OF Yueng, who had evidently been
dead three or four days. He was lying on
the bed fully dressed, with his hand over
pistol wound in his right chest
Frank Ton Foon, the roommate of
Ngow, and the man who shot the, high
binder. was taken to the Morgue and
identified Yueng as one of the men who
had been in his room and the one at whom
he had fired. His story of the affair is
that the men entered the lower door of
the house with key and pried open the
door OF his room with a jimmy. He heard
nothing of the burglars until thev fired
the shot which wounded Ngow. He i'm
medlately jumped from his bed, gra bbed
his pistol and fired point blank at Yueng,
VINO was within few inches OF him. The
robbers then ran and as they were leaving
the room he fired another shot, but being
| frightened missed them. the bullet striE :
ing transom above the door. Forty six
dollars of Franks money was taken by
the burglars.
When the police were notified of the
shooting, Frank Ton Foon insisted that
| he had wounded one OF the men and the
| officers have been looking for the in jured
hlghbnder for several days. Sunday
| they heard that the man was dead, and
| the City Physician, the Morgue official S
| and the police made thorough search OF
all the undertaking-hous in Chinatown
| for the body and a close watch was kept
| on all the cemeteries. AS he body could
| not be found the story of the man havir Q
! died was discredited, and Detectives Wre n
and Gibson began to look for wounded
| man.
They traced him 10 the building at 1O06
| Dupont street, where the body was found
! yesterday, but after making a search they
were unable to find hIm. Next they
heard from the doctor who was said to be
attending him, that Yueng was at the
| Sullivan building at Pacific and Dupont
Streets but no Chinese was found. These
stories were all pro baby straight tips,
| but the body was moved from place to
place by the pals of Yueng, who ieareu
discovery if The dead man was identified
Their cunning transfer of the body to the
st building searched baffled the police
for three days.
The two men, Charlie Ngow and Frank
Ton Foon, both worked for Dunno & Co.,
at the corner of Powell and Market streets,
and are consid deFed trustworthy. They
assert that Yueng is the most villain GUS
scoundrel of the lot, and their staten ent
is backed up by number of prominent
Chinese. Yueng was member of the
Tsuey On Tong, and is said TO have be en-
mixed up in more OF the villainy of Chin a.
town than any other high binder.
Wing Yen and Wong Tong. two of the
Chinese arrested for carrying concealed
weapons and burglar tools md released on
that charge yesterday, are detained at the
City Prison on the suspicion that they
were mixed up in the robbery of Ngow.
Frank Ton Foon was taken TO the prison
last evening. and says he is not quite sure
as 10 whether or not they are the men,
but he says the voics of one sounds like
that of one of the burglars.
Frank Ton Foon was arrested last mig hi
and taken to the police headquarters.
After securing his statement, Captain
Bohen telephoned 10 Judge Low, with the
result that the Chinese was released on
| lis own recogniZance.
