WHO Is SUSPECTED OF TRYING TO
POISON HER HUSBAND.
next day portions of the soup were
sent to DR.. c. O. Southard of 121 Geary
street and Dr. Z. L. Grossman of 41312
Kearny street. The physicians found
enough arsenic in the soup to kill one
hundred men. The police were imme-
diately communicated with and De-
tective Ryan was detailed on the case.
All Sow was arrested last night at her
room in a house at Spofford alley
and taken to the City Prison, where her
name was entered on the detinue book.
She may be charged to-day.
THINKS WIFE INNOCENT.
The woman. is a pretty type of the
Chinese female and when interviewed
she sobbingly said that she had no in
tention Of killing her husband and that
she did not know that the soup, which
she claimed to have prepared, was
poisoned.
Fong Ling does not believe that his
wife placed the arsenic in the soup.
She has always been a good wife to
me-" he said. Il married her ten years
ago and we have a little boy seven
years old. 1 believe that she was
merely used as a tool by the See Yups
tong, whose leaders have wanted to
kill me ever since 1 turned States evil
dence in the Tom Yick case. 1 think
when my wife has been in prison for
a time that she will tell who put the
poison in the soup
I inc &c ht1c
ness in Spofford alley. He is fifty-four
years old and has been in San Fran
cisco for forty-four years. He was for
several years in the employ of the
Southern Pacific Railroad as steward
on it's river steamers. He speaks good
English. Since his turning States evil
dence in the Tom Yick murder trial,
there has been reward of $500 for his
head offered by the See Yups. He has
been compelled to travel with a body
guard during the day and at night
sleep under the protecting wings of the
Chinese Educational Society.
All SOW MADE A TOOL.
Althoug,l Fong loves his wife, she has
not reciprocated his affection. Since
he has been compelled to live with the
lllCliiUGl VI llt OIlllGSG LuuCdlIOIdl Do
ciety, she has been living part of the
time in Fresno. There she fell in love
with a slant eyed individual named
Wong Ow Doy, member of the Bing
Koo Tong affiliated with the See Yup
Society. Recently she came to the city
and tried to get her husband to ac-
quiesce to a separation, so that she
might marry her newly found love.
She offered Fong $500 if he would con-
sent to a divorce, but she was met with
a fiat refusal. Fong loved his wife, the
mother of his boy, and sorrowed at the
thought of losing her. Again and again
she pleaded with him to have the
matrimonial bonds severed but with
out success.
The police are inclined to think that
All Sow was induced to poison her
husband by her new lover Wong Ow
Doy, who is member of the See Yups,
but have as yet not been able to trace
his connection with the plot.
HISTORY OF MURDER CASE.
The murder case of Tom Yick, who
was a member of the Educational Soci-
ETY., is still fresh in the public mind
The See Yup Society had been vigor-
OuSty nSnIlnS the EQucatlOndl society.
Every member of the latter organiza-
tion was slated to be slain, $500 being
the price put upon each head. Tom
Yick was filled with bullets in front
of Quan Quock Wah's liquor store on
Ross alley a year ago last May. Quan
Quock Wah and Ngun Lun were ar
rested and charged with the murder.
Later on when it was developed that
there was conspiracy in which the
presidents of the twelve See Yup tongs
were concerned, nine of them were in
dicted by the Grand Jury to stand trial
for the murder Fong Ling was one of
the presidents indicted. He turned
States evidence and proved a valuable
witness in the conviction of Ouan
Quock Wah and in the trial of Ngun
Lun. Quan Quock Wah was found
guilty and is yet to be sentenced. 1t
was in the trial of Ngun Lun that Jur
or j. w. Kelly claimed that E. w
Gunther approached him to bribe him
to hang the jury, and said that Gun
ther dropped $3.50 into his pocket The
case was in Judge Lawlor's court. The
jury was dismissed and Gunther taken
into custody and charged with bribery
He was released on bonds and his case
is now pending. The Ngun Lun case
will be set for a new trial in a few
weeks.
