Hacked to death with a hatchet in the
hands Of a murderous fighting man Of the
Bing Kong Tong was the cruel fate that
befeu Wong Fook, a Tim Kee man, IN his
room in a lodging house at COZ Jackson
street, shortly before 6 o'clock last night
The murder was one of the foulest that
has grown out Of .--e present highbinder
war which has been going on in China
town since Thanksgiving day. The muir
dered man was horribly cut on the head
and shoulders. One wound at the base Of
the skull nearly severed the head from the
body and must have caused instant death.
It is said by those who are familiar with
the differences between the warning fac
tiOns that Wong FOOk the murdered Chi
naman, was the victim of mistaken iden-
tity. He was living in a little room on the
second floor Of the building where the
murder occurred, with three members Of
the Suey Sing Tong, and it is believed
that Bing Kong Tong hatchetman slew
Fook, thinking he was one Of the Suey
Sing men
The murdered man was a native son and
was known to be very religious. His
friends claim that he was in no way impli-
Gated in the present troubles and this
statement strengthens the theory and
general belief existing in Chinatown last
night that Wong FOOK was slain by a
hlgnbln0er who was too cOWardly to take
time to identify his victim before he dealt
the death blows with the hatchet. 1t was
the first case q hatchet warfare that has
occurred for over year
Goes to Horrible Death.
Wong Fook was in his room preparing
his evening meal when the highbinder
knocked at his door The hallway outside
was dark and Wong Fook opened his door
TO d horrible death th3t lurked in the
shadows. His murderer first struck him a
blow on the top Of the head with the blunt

CLAIMS HE WAS ROBBED
OF A VALUABLE PIN
E. n. Spencer Says Diamond Was
Taken From Him in B'nai
R,rith Hall

z. H Spencer who recently came TO
this city from Denver, and who resides
at 3H O'Farrell street, reported to the
police last night that he had been robbed
of a $3.50 diamond necktie pin. Spencer,
while out viewing the attractions of this
city, happened to visit B'nai Birth Hail,
where a dance was in progress. While
he was in the hall, he claims, number
of young men who, he says, had been
casting covetous glances at the $3.50 dia-
mond which he was wearing in his neck
tie, made an attack upon him. He told
the police that they mauled him about
the hall, and in the scrimmage stole his
pin.
Spencer first reported his loss to Of
fcer Wilson. The officer accom- panied him
to the Hall of Justice; where he gave a
detailed account Of the theft tc Acting
Captain John Martin. The acting captain
detailed officers to make an investi-
cation.
AT an early hour this morning Police
man Cullman arrested three young men,
Thomas Hendon, John Boyle and F. E.
Dupont, on suspicion of having been i'm
plicated in the theft of the diamond As
they were unable to satisfactorily ex-
plain their actions during the evening
they were placed under arrest and their
names registered in the detenue book.
The police will make further investiga-
ton to-day.

OPPENHEIM'S SLAYER
NOT YET DISCOVERED
Police Still Adhere to the Theory
That the Shooting Was


The detectives have practically given up
any hope of finding the man who fired the
fatal shot at Adolph Oppenheim in his
shooting gallery on Dupont street late
been closely followed without any result.
The officers still adhere to the theory
that the shot was accidental and that the
man who fired it either does not know
that. the bullet had struck Oppenheim or
is afraid to make himself known.
The inquest will probably be held to-
morrow, but Captain Seymour does not
expect to have any further evidence to
offer than that already published. The
theory that business rivalry had anything
to do with the shooting is secuted by the
police.
