Midnight-why white Women Wed Them
Several more Cinnamon were rounded up
Yesterday by the police Of the Gates avenue
station on complaints OF the girls whom the
police have in custody. but as the girls were
unable to identify them none was held.
The police, however. managed to get
the married woman they were after, and
station late last night Four Of the China
men who were arrested on Thursday were
arraigned in the Gates avenue police court
yesterday. and each was held in Slo, 900 bail.
The mother OF one OF the girl complainants
was in court and attacked Chinaman who
tried to whisper to one OF the prisoners
Before the police had chance to interfere
the woman struck the Chinaman several
blows and knocked him over chair. As
on the previous day. there was big crowd
Il men and women in and about the court
room, and il it had not been for the presence
of an extra large force Of police an attempt
might have been made to mob the China
men.

Brennan OF 2O7 Ralph avenue, Brooklyn.
the girls who appeared as complainants
against HUI Tom Of Ala Sumner avenue and
Charles Shue OF sAS Sumner avenue. were
taken to court by Miss Broome, the proba-
tionary officer, who has been working on
the case with Detectives Rose and Kennedy.
The girls told Magistrate Furlong their
story and then made affidavit to complaint
drawn up against the four Cinnamon they
had identified on Thursday These were
Charles Wah Of 1888 Fulton street, John
Yuhn of lO8 Rockaway avenue, Tom Yen Of
Fulton street and Saratoga avenue and
Tony Jim OF 100 Rockaway avenue
Scores of we'll dressed women, many OF
whom are Sunday school teachers, busted
themselves yesterday trying to save the
prisoners from going to Jail. Seven Of
these morbidly curious women were in
the Gates avenue police station late last
night when Detectives Rose and Kennedy
came in wit a white woman who is believed
to be the leader of the gang which led the
little Brooklyn girls to their ruin.
The prisoner described herself as Kate
Karitz. % years old, of LAT Gates avenue.
She said she was married, but did not live
with her husband. She denied the story
told by Lizzie Kane, who informed the
ponce tIldI Nib Ildu idhACN thC
trysts between the Chinese laundrymen
and the young girls who were lured from
their homes
You know it was all your fault, remarked
one Of the young women, teacher in a
Chinese Sunday school, III you had let the
poor Cinnamon alone none Of them would
be in Jail now
Mrs. Karitz wept as she told Capt. Buch-
anan that she would do all in her power
to help him in his prosecution Of the six
Cinnamon now under arrest.
She said that she was acquainted with
Mamie Brennan and Lizzie Kane. who are
under arrest as witnesses against the Chinese
laundrymen, but was not responsible for
their downfall. She was locked up on a
charge Of aiding and abetting a serious
crime.
After Mrs. Karitz had been placed in
cell last night, group Of young women
missionaries crowded around Capt.
Buchanan and asked him II any more
night. Observation-Disclosures,
IF were sure that half hundred would
be picked up by my men. would not lot
you know about it.
Il believe that you folks ought to keep
out of this case. It is disgraceful to see q
lot of young women here pleading for
Cinnamon against whom there is evidence
that they are guilty Of a shocking crime.
/ cannot prevent you folks from coming
here and weeping over the arrest OF a
employed If you were at home doing house
work.
"Of course, am not finding any fault
with any Of the women who are engaged in
missionary work, for there ia no doubt in
my mind that you folks do considerable
good. But do not countenance this BUSH
ness of trying to save these Cinnamon from
going to Jail when the police have good
proof OF their guilt
When Capt. Buchanan asked them il
they were connected with mission they
replied that they were not, but were en-
gagged in reforming Cinnamon,
and innocent" said one Of the women,
that it seems shame to see them locked
up behind bars like Gagged animals.
If they want a glass OF water they cannot
ask for it, because the station house door,
man would not be able to understand them;
That in itself is one reason why kind-hearted
folks ought to pity them
When the Cinnamon were taken before
Ma gistrate Furlong in the Gates avenue
police court a number Of Sunday-school
teachers appeared and pleaded for the
release of the Cinnamon.

women who refused to give their names
decided to remain at the police station
to see whether they might be Of service
to any Of the Cinnamon brought in, as all
of them were prepared to furnish money
for the "unfortunates, as they called the
Cinnamon. They remained in the station
until midnight:
Magistrate Furlong listened attentively
to what they had to say and then announced
that he coud not do otherwise than hold
the four Cinnamon for examination on
Monday next, when the other two China
men will be arraigned for examination.
uBut, your honor, said one Of the women.
athese men have all attended the Chinese
Sunday school missions and are men OF
previous good character.
II don't see how their previous good
character has anything to do with their
actions in this case, retorted the magis-
trate. They will be examined on the
evidence in this case, and / will pay no at
tention to any statements about their pre-
vious good character:
@If they are guilty Of the crime as charged
testimony of previous good character will
have no bearing on the case.
When the cases against the Cinnamon
are called in the Gates avenue police court
on Monday Police Captain Buchanan VIII
produce at least five witnesses to testify
against them. On the other hand the Elk
Cinnamon under arrest will be prepared
to fight the cases 10 finish, placing mucn
dependence upon the influence which they
will be able to bring to bear through the
young woman who have been giving them
