Another Chinese, With
Deadly Results.
The Murderer Caught Red-Handed

Maqnan.

Another murder was added to Chi
natown's long list yesterday when Lee
Fat cut the throat Of Lee Tong.
The murderer was caught in the act
by officer w. Magnan, who was stand
ing on the corner Of Washington and
Stockton streets. Seeing a Chinese be-
ing pursued by another with a knife
he ran to them. but too late TO prevent
the deed.
Lee Fat was taken to the Chinese
Consulate, where an effort was made
to have him tell why he committed the
act, bat all he would say was that it
was over morey matters
The wounded man was taken by the
officers from the spot to the patrol box
at the corner Of Clay and Stockton
He bled profusely on the way, leaving
trail of blood. He was then taken
to the Receiving Hospital, where he
died, the 1ugular vein having been sew
cred.
From eye witnesses 1t was learned
that the two men had been standing
on the corner of Spofford alley and
Washington street talking In excited
tones. Suddenly one Of them was seen
to run up Washington toward Stock
ton. pursued by the other, who flour
tshec murderous looking butcher
knife. Within ten yards Of Stockton
street the murdered man slipped to
his knees, when his pursuer made q
lunge at his ribs. but missed him. Re
covering himself he made another
slash and succeeded in inficting a
deep cash In the fallen mans throat.
Before he could escape he was taken
into custody.
It was learned that both belonged to
the Yeong Wo Association, one of the
Six Companies, and were members of
the Lee family.
The wounded man sank to the ground
from loss of blood, and Mangan tied a.
handkerchief around his throat to
stanch the flow. officer Handley lifted
his head and asked, pointing to the
murderer: do you know this mann"
He nodded his head, being unable to
speak. Handley then asked him, WAS
he the man who cut your He again
nodded his head.
The murderer, on being questioned
as to why he cut the other mans
throat, said that he had demanded
money and threatened to use a gun on
him
The latter part of this statement is
untrue, because no gun was found on
the murdered man when searched. At
the Receiving Hospital DR.. Fitzgibbon
attempted to stop the hemorrhage, but
1t was unavailing, as the man died in
twenty minutes. The interior jugular
vein and the common carotid artery
We're severed. The wound was on the
right side Of the neck, about five inches
deep and three inches long.
The murderer was then taken to the

When the uproar had somewhat sub

Judge Seawen yesterday decided that
the Western Light and Power Company
must move its plant from the basement
of the General Keys building, on
O'Farrell street, near Stockton. Several
months ago the Keys estate brought suit
against the company to compel it to re-
move its plant from the basement of the

other tenants in the building by the Jar
and noise ii made while in operation. The
case was submitted short time ago and
