night in Chinatown. where the latter had
created much excitement Kane had sud
denly appeared, just before the oliceman,
and was striking about to the right ard
left, mostly at Cinnamon. according to
all accounts given the police after his
arrest. Finally he was made prisoner and
taken to the station and locked up.
When Kane appeared in Chinatown he
exhibited great dislike for the Celestials
and attempted to put most of them to
flight. He said he was from Philadel-
Dhia. and hit right, left, and centre with
his fists with remarkable rapidity A
man named Ryan got in his path at Four
and-a-half Street and Pennsylvania Ave
nue. and was knocked down, while China
men scattered to all points of the com
mss 10 avoid Kane as he marched into
Chinatown About this time Detective

according to reports to the police Payne
is said to have spoken TO the mother
about the children and subsequently,
while he was about to enter sis place of
business, was struck over the head by a
big iron plate.
A deep scalp wound resulted from the
blow, and caused Payne to go to a near
by drug store. and afteTward to the hos
pital. Still later he called at Police Head
quarters, and complained to Detective
Trumbo Of the alleged assault. Trumbo
informed the Sixth precinct police and
Policeman Levy arrested Mrs. DcAnn.
The husband of the woman is employed
as q cook at the Portland and was not at
home at the time Of the trouble Mrs.
DeAnn keeps a lodging house at 6l5 Louis
