MURDER OF DOC LUNG.
1t Is Recalled by an Incident of the
Alexander Trial.

The allusion to the murder of Doc Lung,
the Chinese laundryman who was killed in
his store on Indiana avenue by unknown
persons some time ago. i'm the Alexander
grave robbing trial yesterday has revived
the talk of the possible connection of Rufus
Cantrell and other negroes with the MUIR
der. The connection between the two seems
to have grown out of the fact that DR..
Frank M. Wright knew something of the
murder. although he did not inform the
police department of the fact. Cantrell re-
Gently said that Wright knew something
about the murder. but his statement was
such that the Indiana polls detectives had
little faith in II.
DR.. Wright Is under indictment for COM
plicity in grave robbing and will be tried
IN the criminal Court soon. He Will be
defended by John o. Spahr assistant coun-
sci for DR.. Joseph c. Alexander, now
trial, who Yesterday explained his clients
knowledge of the crime. Spahr said that
all MS client knew of the murder was that
he received telephone call from Cantrell
asking him if the body of Chinaman
would De good subject. DR.. Wright told
Cantrell it would, providing it was obtained
I'm a legitimate manner, Spahr said
Wright understood that Cantrell had asked
the same question of other medical colleges
and that he thought nothing more about it
and has learned nothing since.
Mr.. Spahr, when asked last night to give
tic udtc VI the sttltpHOne call OF
declined to do so. He would not say that
IL was not the night of the murder of the
Chinaman and said he did not care to dis
cuss the matter.
The murder of Doc Lung excited the
Chinese of this city and his friends all over
the country TO activity in running down his
murderer. Nothing was accomplished, al
though Chin Hee, Chinaman formerly en-
ployed by Doc Lung, was arrested and
given preliminary hearing in Police Court
on the charge of murder. His hearing
showed that there were two Chinese fac
tons in indianapolis which, augmented by
friends from Chicago and other points,
fought each other at the trial. Interpreters
and the administering of the Chinese form
OF the oath by the blood of chicken
caused the consumption of much news
paper space at the time of the hearing.
The murder was nearly forgotten when a
representative of the Chinese charge daft
faires at Washington was sent to Indianap-
oils a few weeks ago to investigate the trial
of Chin Hee, on the recommendation of
Tseng Chao Kwong, Chinese consul at
the Chinese embassy. the State Department,
the Governor of Indiana, and finally to the
prosecutor of Marion county caused re-
newed activity in the investigation, which
has not been entirely given up yet 1t is
expected that detectives will be sent to
closely question Cantrell to-day to learn
from him, If possible, whether he knows
anything about the murder of Doc Lung,
or whether ii is another one of the fake
stories that have given him prominence in
newspapers and have supplied him with
enough money to buy Injuries for himself
while confined in the Jail.

The prosecution and defense of Alexander
is being kept secret. 1t is understood that
the State intends TO Introduce i'm evidence
all Of the testimony of the self-confessed
ghouls that will show DR.. Alexander to
have been implicated with them in their
crimes. The liveryman who supplied the
horses and wagons for the grave-robbing
business and the gunsmiths and pawn
brokers. who sold arms and equipments
to the ghouls. will also be called to testify
as TO who paid them for the service. 1t

testimony in rebuttal of the certificate from

has left the pulpit He is in active
