Chinaman Who Brought Her From
San Francisco About a Year Ago
Gave the Aarm-Says He Spent the
Early Evening With His Wife, Went
Out to Pay a Visit and on Returning
at a. m. Found Her Dead Body on
the Floor.
Chinatown IN New York city boil
I'd over again early Sunday on discov-
cry of the murder Of the most beauti-
full of the few Chinese women in New
York, Bow Kim, 2l years old, who
came there from San Francisco about
a year ago with an Americanized Chi.
naman. Chin Len, 81 years old.
1t was about a. nj. just as the usual
Saturday night revelry was quieting
down, that Chin Len dashed out of a
tenement house at II Mott street cry.
ing my woman been murdered" The
street, filled with lettering Cinnamon
and parties of American sightseers, all
of whom quickly recalled the sensa-
ticnal murder of Elsie Sigel, the mis-
sionary girl, was thrown into great ex.
element A policeman and a deteC.
tive hurried into the house under Lens
direction through dark Railways to a
rear room on the second floor. The
door was locked and the officers were
about to break II in when Len pushed
them aside and unlocked 1t himself.
In bedroom the murdered woman
lay on the floor, stabbed in half doz-
EN- places. Her slender neck was ring
ed with bloody finger marks, indicat-
ing n struggle with her assailant, and
beside her lay crusted hunting knife.
1t was evident the woman had been
dead for two or three hours. On the
stairs were found traces of blood and
on door leading to the store of Yuen
Chin & Co. on the ground floor. Three
Cinnamon there were arrested, al
though they denied any knowledge Of
the murder.
Six American women who declared
themselves to be the wives OF China
men were also found in the house and
arrested, but none would admit any
knowledge of Bow Kim's death. In
the murdered woman's room were
found many business letters in Chi
nese but none that gave a clue.
At 22 Mott street, however, where
Len spent most of his time and where
the couple had lived previously, was
found a trunk which Len admitted
was his wife's property and in it were
four hunting knives, a stiletto, revol-
yer and two boxes of jewelry.
Len declared he had no idea who
killed his wife, unless may be See
Sing kill her See Sing say she owe
him money and he try to get it." Sing
too, had once been in love with Bow
Kim, he said. As to Sings where
abouts he knew nothing.

LOST IN WHIRLPOOL
Gallant Battle With GiantWaves
Under Lower Bridge.

August sporer Went For Swim at
the Maid Of the Mist Landing With
Three Companions Ventured Too
Far Down and When Beyond Help
Swan Strongly Towards the Whirl-
poo--.Lost TO View Within 300 Yards
Of the Pool.
Niagara Falls, Aug. II. - August
Sporer, an 1S.year-old boy Of this city,
went to his death in the Whirlpool
Rapids after a gallant battle with the
giant waves between the lower bridges
and the pool.
With three companions Sporer went
for a swim in the river at the old Maid
of the Mist landing. He struck out at
once for the middle Of the stream
and then turned toward the bridges.
His companions called to him to turn
back, for the current Is very swift at
that point, but he kept on downstream
and was caught In the Great Sweep,
the first break from the smoother wat
ers to the rapids.
The boy battled for time against the
current, but to no avail. Then, EVIL
IDENTIFY realizing that he was beyond hu.
man help and was to be carried
through the rapids, which took the life
Of Captain Webb and which have re-
sisted every unaided human effort at
passage, he deliberately turned down
stream and began o grim fight for his
life.
Not in all the history OF the river
has such a brave battle been witness
ed. Although but a frail boy, Sporer
went into the rapids swimming strong
ly and held his own until he struck the
giant wave which curls up opposite
the old Buttery elevator. Then he
went under and for second was lost
to sight of the score Of people who
stood on the lower arch bridge.
Again and again he disappeared, on
ly to reappear, each time fighting des-
perately against the terrible current,
but when within 300 yards Of the
Whirlpool his strength gave out, he
sank and was lost to view.
Even then he had swum perhaps 100
yards farther than did the great Eng
lishman Captain Webb.
The body can now be seen In the
Whirlpool, where rivermen are wait
ing for it to be brought inshore far
enough to be caught.
