(trom Sundays Advertiser.)
Cleft to the middle of the skull vita
meat cleaver, All Sing lies at the
point of death at the Queen s Hospital
and Fong Fook, his probable murderer,
is in the city Jail, held for inves,;ga-
ton. AT the desk at the police station
is bloody cleaver with pieces Of
brains sticking to it as souvenir OF
the tragedy.
The assault that ended in what win
result in death for All Sing, occurred
in tenement on lane opening on
the makai side of King street, almost
opposite Desha lane. According to the
stories told by the Others that live In
the building, Fong Fook was cutting
wood upstairs when All Sing came in
to tell him that there was no use for
him to cut wood as the Others were
cooking downstairs and he could use
their fire. Without word Fong Fook
turned, rose and swung for the others
head, catching him squarely with the
edge. All Sing went down like log
and the murderer jumped over his body
and fed.
The police were notified at once and
Chief of Detectives McDuffie started
out Immediately ON the case. The tene-
ment where the CHASTITY deed was com
mitted is a semi society house, used by
number of Cinnamon and their fami-
lies. Fong Fook s neighbors have FREE
quently reported to the police that the
man was crazv and McDuffie, when he
started to work on the case, was told
that he had repeatedly threatened them
with death or injury.
Some time AGO he was brought down
to be examined for his sanity by Doc
tor Emerson. The latter pronounced
him sane and he was released, only to
sink cleaver into the skull Of his fell
low countryman.
When McDnffie arrived on the scene
of the tragedy. he found the man gone
and received information that he had
fed up the track. The chief, therefore,
started up the same way as far as the
bone mill but finding no trace of his
man or hearing Of him, decided that
he was on the wrong track and re-
turned. Going back to the tenement,
he left Detectives Oleson and Min
vielle nearby, feeling certain, from
what he knew of the murderer, that he
would return to the scene of his crime,
The chief then returned home to
change his clothes. Half an hour after
wards Fong Fook had been seized by
the officers left to watch for him.
The crime was reported to the police
at four clock and as the day had
been dull from a police standpoint, the
outcome of the search was being await
ed eagerly. A few hours after the
first report came in, Chinaman,
breathless and faint from running,
dashed into the station and stammer-
ed out that the murderer had returned.
He did not know that the officers were
nearby and had run all the way from
Palama, beating the car in.
| A moment after the man had arrived
the telephone rang and the detectives
called for the wagon. saying that they
had the murderer. The wagon at once
went up.
McDuffie and Deputy Rose took the
man into the latter's office and tried
| to get him to say something. He did
/ attempt to tell of something he had
done but was unintelligible and he was
taken to the cells. At. the door he
grabbed Detective Apana by the shirt
and refused to go back in if the latter
did not also come. Apana, perforce,
acquieseed and at the door of the cell,
was again forced TO continue with the
murderer before the latter would enter.
Once inside the cell the murderer
expressed n desire to tell Apana some
thing but not doing so, Apana struggled
to free himself from the grasp of the
other but did not succeed until four
officers had come to his assistance and
freed him from the maniac.
