Investigating
BOYS DEATH
Allegations Made That Little
Chinese Lad Was Beaten
Until He Died

What is believed will develop into
a case of extreme cruelty and brutal
ity is now receiving thorough inyes-
tigation at the hands Of Chief of De-
tectives McDuffie, following the re-
port Of the mysterious death of a ten
year-old Chinese boy who had lived
with his parents on Beretania street.
That the boy was literary. beaten to
death is the allegation now coming
from several neighbors who finally
admitted that they heard cries of
anguish coming from the premises, up
OF the day that the little fellow was
finally removed to the hospital for
treatment.
The story as now gathered by the
police is in effect that the child was
sent to the hospital for treatment, it
being alleged by the mother and fa-
ther that he had fallen from a tree,
and suffered many bruises and inter
nal injuries.
The child is reported to have been
removed for medical treatment on
June 18th. Five days later death re-
suited and the remains turned over TO
the parents for burial
Inquiry at the hospital today has
brought TO light the declaration that
the Chinese lad was a mass of bruises
when received there for medical at
tention. The hospital staff was also
told that the boy had fallen from the
top branches of tree and had struck
a number of limbs as he descended to
the ground.
Now comes testimony from those
who profess to have been witnesses to
the cries of distress that the mother
Lum Zip, administered a beating to
the child and did not cease her inflic
tion of punishment until his cries had
become stilled through exhaustion.
One of the Chinese alleged as i'm
| plicated' in the assault is believed tc
be associated with one of the city
hack stands. ! =.
