MURDER OF DOC LUNG.
1t Startled the Community Because Of
It's FerOcity.


The murder Of Doc Lung startled the COM
munity when 1t was discovered on the
morning of. May 8, 1902, by reason of the
ferocity of the assailant The deed was
committed before daylight after midnight.
Doc Lung had been at Chinese Masonic
banquet at E. Lungs place, on North Della
ware street. until midnight. Willie Moy.
In passing Doc Lungs store at 2O7 Indiana
avenue, saw a number of bundles in the
doorway. This was sign to him that
something was wrong, as Chinaman never
oversleeps himself. He called Patrolman
Musgrove. who went to a rear window,
which he found open. Musgrove and Moy
entered the room and found the body of
Doc Lung weltering In blood, with the head
cleaver was found among some dishes and
a bloody basin of water near a bloody bar
of soap were mute witnesses of the progress
of the criminal. 1t was assumed by the pO-
lice that the murderer cut the Chinaman's
head off with the cleaver, robbed him, de-
liberately washed the blood off his hands
and left.
1t was known that Doc Lung had money
He was reputed to carry several hundred
dollars on his person, and at the time of his
death was believed to have between 5000
and 500. This money was gone, together
with all the money from the cash drawer,
except forty pennies. The police suspected
that the crime was committed by China
man, and Chin Hee. who had been at the
Masonic banquet where Doc Lung showed
his money and who did several things to
justify the suspicion, was arrested for the
crime. The examination of Chin Hee in
Police Court, and subsequently before the
grand jury, was an interesting proceeding,
but nothing to sustain the charge was pro-
duced in evidence and Chin Hee was re-
leased. Moy Kee, another Chinaman, in
sisted that the crime was perpetrated by
colored robbers. He persisted in this the
DRY and placed the evidence before the
Chinese legation at Washington.

CHINESE EMBASSY ACTIVE.


Lungs Mur0ererS Apprenen0e0s
The Chinese embassy at Washington took
an active interest in the murder of Doc
Lung and in the subsequent efforts of the
local authorities to unravel the mystery.
There was some little correspondence be-
tween the embassy and Governor Durbin,
all of which was conducted through the
secretary of state, and early in January
the embassy sent Kee Owyong, one Of the
York, to this city to conduct an investiga-
ton, and TO see IL he could render the po-
lice any assistance. Kee Owyong was Sc
1ected for the work because of his long
residence In New York and his knowledge
of American police methods and affairs.
Kee Owyong spent four five days in
Indianapolis. AT the time he was here the
detectives who were working on the case
knew something of the connection of the
negroes with the murder, and expected to
get the whole story by promising immunity
to one of the grave robbers then under
arrest. The scheme failed to carry for
some reason, and Kee Owyong returned to
anything. He was satisfied that the de-
tectives and police were doing all in their
power to apprehend the murderers of his
fellow-countryman.
Late in February the mysterious Wallace
Willis Simms. of Louisville, wrote a long
liz which he told what purported to be the
true story of the murder of Doc Lung
Shen Tung forwarded the Simms letter to
Governor Durbin. through Secretary of
State Hay, with the request that IL be
turned over TO the authorities who were
by the Governor to Prosecuting Attorney
RuckelShauS.

LEAPED INTO FIRST PLACE.
Won the six-HurdIe Race at Bennings
winners at the Little Rock and
Oakland Tracks.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Two favor
ties and two heavily-played second choices
won at the third days racing to-day at the
Bennings spring meeting. Bright sunshine
and a fairly good card attracted a big
crowd. A brisk wind had dried out the
track materially While the track was
heavy, the going was a great Improvement
over the first two days of the meeting. In
the first race Illyra, the DAILY entry, won
handily by two lengths, but on protest by
Ahola's jockey Henderson, Illyra was dis
qualified for bearing in on the last turn and
the race was given to Ahola. The biggest
surprise of the day came in the fifth race.
Lowly. the 7-to-l0 favorite, with Redfern
up. got away badly and did not figure in
the race, which was won by Goldsby,
backed down from 10 to 6. Dark Planet

though he was last until the stretch was

MURDERERs OF DOC LUNG.
lCoNCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.l

lice believe was Baker, came to him at
Vermont street and the canal and asked
him to help them rob a Chinaman. They
wanted him to go Sunday night with them.
he says. and promised him a lot of money
If he would go. Andrews declares that he
refused to agree to the plan.
He says he met the same three negroes
the next day. and that they refused to
speak to him. Monday night he met them
again. and Davidson said. with a laugh:
''You ought to went with us to get money
from that 'Chink.' We got it all right and
put him out of the way
While asserting positively that he had
no hand in the murder of Doc Lung, An
drews says he knows Sanders, Davidson
and Baker killed the Chinaman. The police
think. however, that he himself was con-
cerned In the murder.
MIN Davidson remained close-mouthed
throughout the long ordeal of question
ing. Sulkily and determinedly he stuck to
1t that he had had nothing to do with the
crime and that he knew absolutely nothing
about IL. He was examined In company
with the other two negroes and by himself
time after time, but all the detectives could
get out Of him were monosyllables and
shakes of the head. For the ability to keep
close rein on his tongue MIN Davidson is
known among the negroes of Indianapolis.
The detectives for excellent reasons do
not desire to state detailed theory of the
crime but in general they accept the con-
fession OF Sanders as approximately true.
They believe that Davidson, Andrews and
Baker gained entrance to the rear of Doc
Lungs laundry, came upon him suddenly
and slew him with a meat cleaver, quickly
robbing his body and the laundry after
wards. They believe that Sanders stood
outside as sentinel to warn the negroes of
approaching danger. They think the four
men named and no others were concerned
in the murder, and they scout the theory
that Cantrell his gang of ghouls had
any connection with it one way or the
other.

Der last night. which 1 believe will con-

The detectives have not yet been able to
find out who struck the blow that killed
Doc Lung. Neither have they been able to
ascertain how much money was secured by
the murder. Since Sanders got 500 as his
share for merely acting as sentinel. the
detectives believe at least $500 or 500 was
taken. 1t was known that Doc Lung had
good deal of money In his possession. but
no one knew how much

Building This Year.

1mO10m8POhlS OlUQ EFFECT u new
Building This Year.
There will be only three more games Of
polo in Indianapolis this season, the last
scheduled game being next Tuesday night
The next game is tomorrow night with the
new Muncie team, and Elwood comes Sat-
urday night Muncie will play the last
game in Indianapolis. The three remaining
games should attract large crowds, as the
best attractions in the league are sched-
uled to play here. Elwood has the cham
pionship won, while Muncie is now repre-
scented by the Lowell team. the Eastern
champions. Lowell has not been seen here
this season, the change having been made
since Muncie last played here.
The owners of the Indianapolis franchise
in the Western Roller Polo League will
quit the season several thousand dollars
loser. 1t is the only organization that has
not made money, the gas belt towns being
several thousand dollars to the good on the
season. The small attendance in Indian
apolis is due largely to the fact that In
dianapolis has no suitable building in which
to play polo. After the Cyclorama was Sc
cured it was thought the attendance would
be greatly increased. Larger crowds at
tended the games in the new rink for
while. until the weather grew bitterly cold
and 1T was impossible to heat the large
building. President A. B. Cohen, of the In
dianapols club believes the lack Of a suit
able building this season caused the heavy
loss.
The Indianapolis owners will be in the
game again next season. The mere fact
that they continued to play the games here
in the face of such heavy losses is the best
evidence that they consider their franchise
a valuable one and will be in the game
next year. President Cohen stated last
night that options are now held on three
suitable sites for a new polo rink and be-
fore the summer is far advanced site
will be chosen in the downtown district
and large building erected for polo games
