Ivy tho prisoners, who were loahng about
the entrance of tho hotel,
Halo, john Amt you making chop
suey, to-day" Said one 81 them. Kim
protested that he Ia not a Chinaman, that
he does not make chop suey. and that they
should mind their own business. Kim
speaks a very good English.
The outla Wa. taking tho advantage Of
the numerical disparity hot ween themselves
and the Corean. ~shamefully pounced upon
him. and before he knew what was IN one
Of the attackers kicked him by the side Of
the ribs. We're Il not for that Kim could
have made a better defence Of himself than
what he has made, for he was a pupil Of
Prof. Tomita Of jiu-jitsu in New York for
two years and Ia n fairly good one at the
Japanese art OF self-defence. Disabled
though he was, he fought for all his worth
to save his life. But the mobs, not satisfied
with what they had already done. fell upon
the PROSTATE body n one after another
beat him a dozen times all over his face
and body.
There we're several men and women in
front Of the houses and along the side
walks, but 40 policeman, at the time the
Korean-American war was in progress.
In conformity with the peculiarly American
primo pie, the men never attempted to stop
the fkLt; perhaps for fear Of being COM
plicated, but more for their belief that il
any peoE lie have any difference among
themselves they should be let to fight out
their difference by themselves. II was
about five minutes later that the police
men made their appearance on the scene
of battle-that is. after it was over, They
called for an ambulance from the Brooklyn
Hospital. and meanwhile managed to arrest
Edward Stonehouse, Joseph Fitzgerald and
Willie Shannon. The others ran away.
After a brief examination in the police
station on Fulton street, near the bridge,
Kim, who was covered with blood on his
face, his $40 suit Of clothes being torn and
dirty with dust, was taken to the Brooklyn
Hospital for treatment, while the three
men who we're arrested were locked up for
the night in the station house.
Friends of Kim were trying to have q
few persons who rave been on the spot
to swear to be witnesses of the scene of
fighting. Most of them declined the honor.
But s. Wada and T. Tsuchiya, two Japanese
young men. who live in the Japanese Mis-
sion. IL Concord street, say they witnessed
the fighting through the windows but have
not had time to go to the rescue Of the
Korean. They will appear in the court
Japanese and Koreans.
Police are doing all they can to have the
offenders properly punished, otherwise
there will be no end of trouble to the Koreans
as well as the Japanese and the Chinese, who
are often subjected to various manners Of
insult by the ignorant, lawless, bloodthirsty
mobs that loaf around in the neighborhood
of the bridge. JIHE1 HAsH1GUCHI.
