mijs killing three. In 1858 he was SEN
tenced 10 be hanged for his second crime,
but Governor Fenton commuted the sen
tence to life Imprisonment. and later Gov
ernor Hoffman reduced the penalty TO ten

For killing Kelley Apo pleaded self
defence. but was sentenced to seven years

time was up he became insane and was
transferred 10 the asylum for insane

there ever since, as the law makes no

dition to money for the ocean passage.
With this sum. members Of the society

can live at ease in his native land for the
rest Of his days. The old man is him
self a member OF the Lee Society, and
stood high in Chinese Free Masonry be-
fore he was sent to prison.
App0's real name is Lee ApDo. The
name "Quimbo'' meaning devilD was given
to him because Of his vicious temper. He
came to this country when he was twenty
years old. with Mr.. Stuart who had been
Minister TO China. He went to California

Appo's keepers look upon him as harm

fusion is that he is the ruler Of all man
